Kiama Surf Life Saving Club, a small and relaxed community-oriented club, is located at Surf Beach, Kiama. The beach, spanning 250 metres, is surrounded by parkland and walking paths, including the Blowhole and Coronation Park, which meets the sand of Surf Beach. Close to Kiama’s centre, it is a popular spot for both locals and tourists.
Founded in 1908, the club was established a year after Australia’s first Surf Life Saving Club and was the first outside the Sydney area. Historically, people from Sydney commuted by train to Kiama to swim and visit the Kiama Blowhole.
The club is dedicated to the welfare of Kiama and its surrounding communities. It prides itself on its friendly atmosphere, strong competition, and promotion of a healthy lifestyle through surf, health, and life skills education.
Volunteer lifeguards patrol Surf Beach every weekend from September to April, with nippers training every Sunday morning, making Surf Beach a favoured family destination.
The club’s sundeck is popular for member functions and Sunday Sips and can also be hired by the public for events.
Kiama Surf Lifesaving Club Inc is a member of the South Coast Branch of Surf Life Saving Clubs, affiliated with NSW Surf Life Saving.
