About Currumbin Beach Vikings Surf Life Saving Club

Perched on Elephant Rock, dining here feels less like an everyday clubhouse and more like floating on an ocean liner—breakers roll directly beneath your feet. Regulars have staked out the window tables since the sixties for cold schooners, thick porterhouse steaks, and shared seafood platters. Rinse the sand at the tap beneath the stilts, then head up the stairs to beat the lunch crowd.

  • Over-Water Elephant Rock Outlook: Perched on Elephant Rock where ocean swells roll directly beneath the floorboards, delivering wide Pacific views without fine-dining formality.
  • Post-Surf Beach Rinse: Under-club freshwater taps and open showers allow a quick beach rinse before heading up for drinks and lunch.
  • Generous Coastal Pub Fare: Unpretentious club favorites including porterhouse steak, crisp chips, and generous seafood platters served at approachable prices.
  • Stair-Only Entry: Due to the historic over-rock position, access into the club is strictly via stairs with no ramp or elevator available.

    The presence and sound of breaking surf alongside loved ones fosters an immersive, grounding beachside atmosphere.
