Northcliffe Beach

Last updated October 2026

Northcliffe Beach is just south of the Surfers Paradise shopping precinct, among high-rise towers. Lifeguards patrol Tower 32 (Thornton Street, near Northcliffe Surf Life Saving Club) and Tower 33 (Clifford Street) between 8am and 5pm every day all year round. Swim between the red and yellow flags. The foreshore area has toilets, benches and beach showers, and the Oceanway runs along this strip with plenty of bike parking. There is limited parking at the surf club and on-street parking nearby. Dogs are not allowed within 200 metres of the flags. Within a short walk (OpenStreetMap) are Shiraz Persian Restaurant, a restaurant (about 380 m) and Chickery Chick, a takeaway (about 300 m), plus several other places to eat.
