North Palm Beach Surf Club stands in Governer Phillip Park on the world renowned Palm Beach (located approximately 28 km’s north of Sydney), but to many it is only known as 'Summer Bay Surf Lifesaving Club', due to it's 19 year use in the show.

Thousands of tourists a week go along to visit the site, many of which are from the UK, to take their pictures in front of the famous Summer Bay Surf Club sign with Alf Stewart's name on it.

Despite that, many people do not realise that the building itself is in fact a fully functional Surf Club, patrolling the beach during the summer months and that it is reliant on voluntary membership.

The Surf Club also operates a kiosk virtually 7 days a week, which provides cappuccino's, pies, hot dogs, drinks, and Ice Creams to any visitors. The funds from this goes straight back into the club in order to buy vital Rescue Equipment.

The club are always looking for new recruits to join the "Summer Bay Surf Club", and are even offering free membership to those who enrol as part of the Duke of Edinburgh Awards Scheme. Even if you're not involved in the Awards you can still enrol at the Club as a volunteer to help keep the beach a safe place.
