About West Beach Surf Club

Perched right on the foreshore, West Beach Surf Club pairs sweeping Gulf panoramas with hearty pub-style fare where schooner sales directly back the local lifesavers. Grab an open table on the wrap-around deck—dogs welcome, shaded, and cooled by coastal breezes. Regulars head straight for the chargrilled tuna steak with roasted vegetables, towering open beef yiros, and slow-simmered lamb ragù pappardelle while the sun dips beneath the water.

  • Wrap-Around Ocean Views: Take in elevated water views and sunsets from a full-length wrap-around deck and terrace.
  • Hearty Coastal Fare: Big plates span chargrilled tuna steaks, open beef yiros, and slow-cooked lamb ragù.

Customer favourites to enjoy overlooking the coast

  • Chargrilled Tuna

    I had the most delicious char grilled tuna which was cooked perfectly with roasted veggie salad YUM

    Alana Kelsey

  • Beef Parmigiana

    This wasn’t one of those sad, soggy pub parmis that looks like it’s been through a minor flood. Nah — this was a proper unit.

    Michael Jamieson

  • Harrisa Lamb Ragù Pappardelle

    Slow-cooked lamb that had clearly been simmering longer than most people’s New Year’s resolutions. Rich, silky, falling apart like a politician under questioning.

  • Big Boatie Burger

    Ordered the Big Boatie Burger. Went down a treat. Very nice.
