About West Beach Surf Life Saving Club
West Beach Surf Life Saving Club sits on the corner of Seaview Road and West Beach Road, right on the sand. Its bar and bistro open daily and look out across the water, and the club runs functions for corporate groups, private parties and families. The main function space is the indoor room, which can be split with a timber divider or rope bollards for smaller groups. Folding concertina doors close it off completely for exclusive use, fitting 100 to 120 seated or 120 to 160 for a cocktail event. For smaller numbers, the southern balcony takes groups of 20 to 40 and can be roped off to size. It is open to the weather, so it suits fine days, while the deck is offered only on a shared basis. Food comes from the club kitchen. Cocktail menus start at $35 per person for five hot and cold pieces over two hours, and plated set menus for groups of 40 or more start at $55 per person for an entree and main. Drinks can be set up as a three or four hour package, a bar tab, subsidised drinks or a cash bar. Corkage is available for a limited number of your own bottles of wine. Because it is a working surf club, functions over 40 guests are not taken between October and April, and groups in that season sit in a set area of the main bistro.
