PatrolS
At Cudgen Headland SLSC lifesaving is at the heart of what we do and we encourage our members to participate in patrolling duties. Members are given the opportunity to further their skills or pass on their lifesaving knowledge to others.
Cudgen Headland SLSC is one of the most popular Far North Coast beaches for families, surfers, beach goers, locals and visitors alike. Volunteer lifesavers in red and yellow, patrol the beach and keep people safe all through summer.
