Pacific
Palms Surf Club aims to keep
the beach safe for locals and
visitors, educate
our children in surf safety
and surf skills and encourage
physical and
social activities for its
members.
Pacific
Palms Surf Life Saving Club
is located at Elizabeth
Beach, in Booti Booti
National Park, on the lower
north
coast of NSW.
Elizabeth Beach, fondly
known as "Lizzy" to the
locals, boasts clear
unpolluted water, a soft
sandy beach and panoramic,
unspoiled views. The 600m
long beach faces north-east
and is well-protected
from east and south-east
swell by Charlotte Head.
Prominent hills border
each end and a natural low
foredune backs most of the
beach. The Pacific
Palms Surf Club is located
behind the centre of the
beach. Parking is available
at both ends as well as near
the surf club.

Considered
the safest and most
popular beach in the
area it is the only
patrolled
beach between Cape
Hawke (Forster) to
the north and Tea
Gardens to the
south. (click
here for patrol
times).
The
club was founded
in 1986 and
although still
relatively young
has gained
a reputation for
success in
competition,
sportsmanship and
friendship and
members pride
themselves on
their strong life
saving ideals.

| The
modern clubhouse
offers fantastic
views of the
beach and beyond as
well as covering the
practical and social
needs of its
members. It has
become popular with
locals and visitors
as a venue
for
weddings and
other
functions.
Staged
extensions to
improve the
facilities for
members and the
community are
complete and the
club now has a
lift and disabled
toilet and shower
facilities;
new ladies and
gents toilet and
shower facilities;
a new commercial
kitchem;
meeting room and a
well equipped
gym.
The
club also collects
water to supply
it's new outdoor
shower and has
installed
solar panels on
it's north facing
roof.
