Position on map:
The Main Beach Bathing Pavilion and Southport Surf Life Saving Club, built 1934-36, is historically important as evidence of the historical development of the Gold Coast as a holiday resort, in particular the growth of the Southport area as a tourist destination. It demonstrates the evolution of sea bathing from a curative activity to a recreational pursuit. The buildings and associated grounds are now rare examples of the beach setting and built environment of the 1930s Gold Coast. The area has an association with the Surf Life Saving Association of Queensland, and in particular with the Southport Branch. The buildings are examples of the influence of the Spanish Mission style of architecture and of the public work of the prominent architectural firm, Hall and Phillips, at Southport.
