Birthday Party Venues in Main Beach

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Two very different birthdays are on offer at Main Beach. La Luna Beach Club floats on a pontoon at Marina Mirage, with cabanas and a pool, while Southport Surf Club hosts in beachside rooms on MacArthur Parade. Age is the first filter, because their rules on 18ths and 21sts differ.

Compare them on what matters to the birthday host:

Milestone age: La Luna does not take 18th to 21st birthdays, apart from small family gatherings at the manager's discretion, while Southport Surf Club lists 21sts among its functions.
Small groups: a Cabana at La Luna Beach Club takes up to 15, the Grand Cabana up to 22.
Mid-sized groups: the surf club's Corporate Room holds 50 for cocktails, with a Pacific-side balcony of its own.
Dancing: the surf club's Pavilion Hall has a dance floor and a limit of 100 for cocktails.
Price guide: La Luna is from $99 per person, and Southport Surf Club from $1,500 minimum spend.

Cabana bookings use a QR code for drinks and a pre-order menu of feasting boards and bottle service.
Several cabanas can be combined for up to 80, which keeps a bigger party close together.
Stand-up parties of 30 or more choose eight, ten or twelve canapés, with add-ons like an oyster station.
Drinks go through your waiter on table service, and the venue is not BYO.

How the surf club handles a birthday

Hire is capped at 5 hours with an 11pm finish, and the hour before is yours for decorating.
Food comes as club kitchen platters, with celebration cakes the one thing you may bring in.
Drinks packages aren't offered, so the host usually opens a tab for a chosen amount.
Clear any outside DJ or photo booth with the functions manager before you promise it to guests.
