SANTA TO MAKE A SPLASH AT MOOLOOLABA BEACH THIS CHRISTMAS EVE
The magic of Christmas is returning to the Sunshine Coast as Santa Claus makes his much-loved arrival at Mooloolaba Beach on Christmas Eve! In a true Aussie twist, Santa will swap his sleigh for surf, arriving by Surf Boat at approximately 5:30pm, thanks to the skilled Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club (MSLSC) Boaties.
Families are invited to line the shore and welcome Santa as he steps out of the surf with a sack full of sweet treats from CTC Australia for the kids. Santa will stay for photos, high-fives and Christmas cheer before a spectacular fireworks display lights up the sky at 7:15pm, launching his journey around the world.
Now in its 61st year, this free community tradition is proudly hosted by the volunteers of Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club and has become a much-loved part of Christmas on the Sunshine Coast for locals and visitors alike.
“Santa’s arrival at Mooloolaba Beach is a highlight of the year for our community,” said MSLSC President Trent Robinson. “It brings families together in the spirit of fun, ocean safety and Christmas joy. Remember kids—Santa’s watching, so be good! And don’t forget to swim between the red and yellow flags these holidays.”
