Address: Marine Parade, Kirra Beach
Position on map:
The Kirra Shelter Shed, constructed circa 1916 and largely rebuilt in 2004, is historically significant as a structure associated with the recreational use of Kirra Beach by the public over many years and as evidence of the site of the original Kirra Surf Club building. The place has special association with the Kirra Surf Life Saving Club. The current shed incorporates the footings and ornate architectural style of the original shelter structure. It demonstrates class characteristics of other early shelter sheds established within the area and which now no longer exist. The beach side setting of the shed with ocean views has high aesthetic value. Among the local community the place is used as a viewing platform and has become an important local icon.
