Maroochy Surf Club

Maroochy Surf Club is a beachside venue in Cotton Tree, Maroochydore, combining a bistro, bar, coffee shop and regular What's On programming under one roof. Its Flags Bistro looks out along the coast from Noosa to Mooloolaba, giving meals and drinks a distinctly seaside setting. The club is open seven days and offers lunch, dinner, afternoon bites and coffee service, with a reduced menu available between lunch and dinner.

The bistro menu covers familiar club-style dining with seafood, steaks, pizzas, burgers, schnitzels, salads and vegetarian and vegan choices. Seafood is a strong focus, with Mooloolaba king prawns, oysters, Southern Blue tempura whiting, crumbed calamari, pan-fried salmon and the Ocean Catch combining several seafood options. Other substantial choices include the Black Angus rump, rib fillet and striploin, while the Maroochy Special schnitzel and the chickpea power bowl offer alternatives for different appetites. The kitchen also identifies vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options on the menu, and provides dedicated kids and seniors selections.

The Surf Bar serves wines, spirits, premium and craft beers, cocktails and cold drinks, while the coffee shop offers coffee made with beans roasted locally on the Sunshine Coast, along with sweet treats by the water. Live entertainment is part of the club's What's On calendar, alongside raffles, gaming promotions, giveaways and other events. The exact programme changes, so checking the current listings is the practical way to plan around music or other activities.

There is plenty of space for groups, with the Black Swan function room available for private and corporate events and coastal views that also suit weddings. Families are catered for through the children's menu, while the broad bistro and bar offering works for casual meals, drinks with friends or an easy solo visit. As a surf lifesaving club, Maroochy Surf Club also has a wider community role: its redevelopment plans are focused on securing the future of lifesaving on Maroochydore Beach and keeping the club a community hub for years to come.
