Dive into the Sunshine Coast’s Ocean Swim Challenge!
The Lexus Maroochydore Bluff to Bar | Saturday, October 3rd
A true ocean swim along one of the Sunshine Coast’s most iconic stretches.
From the Bluff to Alex, this is open water done properly. Saltwater, stamina and community, all in support of local surf lifesaving.
The Lexus Maroochydore Bluff to Bar is Alex Surf Club’s signature ocean swim! A point-to-point challenge set along one of the Coast’s most recognisable headlands.
This isn’t a pool swim. It’s open water. Real conditions. Real coastline.
Swimmers move from the Bluff down to Alexandra Headland in a professionally managed, safety-supported event delivered by experienced surf lifesavers.
Whether you’re stepping up to your first ocean event or you’re a seasoned open water swimmer, Bluff to Bar is built for confident swimmers who respect the ocean and want to be part of something bigger.
Every entry supports local surf lifesaving and youth development at Alex Surf Club. Plus you’ll get your very own finisher T-shirt!
