Some South Maroubra Surf Club Facts

The South Maroubra Surf Club started when a group of men from Malabar saw the need for lifesaving services at the South end of Maroubra Beach. Our club patrols the beach every Saturday and Sunday and Public Holiday from October to April of each year. South Maroubra Beach is well known for its great surf and with over 1000 members our patrolled beach has never lost a life, between the red and yellow flags, whist a patrol has been on duty.
