About The Beach Hotel
The Beach Hotel sits on the waterfront side of The Strand in North Ward, looking across Cleveland Bay to Magnetic Island. It runs as a relaxed pub from morning coffee through to late dinners, and it takes functions across several areas of the building. There are six bookable areas. Rooftop Exclusive takes the most, with room for 180 for cocktails or up to 150 seated, while Strand Front and Kennedy Side each hold 100 standing or 80 seated. Strand West suits around 60 standing, Strand Corner 25 and Strand East a seated group of 24. The rooftop is fully covered, and glass bifold doors close against wind or rain without hiding the water view. A lift inside the pub makes it accessible. AV and a pair of big screens come with the rooftop, and Kennedy Side, Strand Corner and Strand West have one screen apiece. There is no room hire fee. What you spend on catering and the bar is the cost, with a minimum spend set by area, day and time. For a standing party, canapé packages run from four to eight pieces per guest, and a grazing table is available. Seated groups can choose a two-course menu or a shared or alternate-drop set menu, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-friendly options. Drinks can be a three to five hour package at standard, premium or deluxe level, a bar tab with a limit you set, or a cash bar. Cocktails on arrival and a spirits upgrade can be added to a package.

Frequently asked questions
How many guests can The Beach Hotel hold for a function?
The areas range from a seated table of 24 up to the rooftop, which takes 180 standing or up to 150 seated when booked exclusively. Strand Front and Kennedy Side each suit 100 standing or 80 seated.
Is there a room hire fee?
No. You pay for the food and drinks you order, and a minimum spend applies that depends on which area you book, the day and the time.
What happens if it rains on the rooftop?
The rooftop has a full roof, and its glass bifolds shut when the weather turns wet or gusty. Because the doors are glass, guests still see along The Strand and out to Magnetic Island.
Can we bring a birthday cake and decorations?
Yes, you can bring your own cake, with a $100 cakeage charge for each one. Decorations are fine as long as they do no damage, so glitter, confetti and anything adhesive are not allowed.
Can we show speeches, slideshows or the footy?
Yes. The rooftop has AV and a pair of big screens, and Kennedy Side, Strand Corner and Strand West have one screen apiece, which suits presentations, slideshows and live sport.
