The Christies Beach Surf Lifesaving Club is a community service based institution manned by volunteers who freely give up their time to keep the beaches safe with regular patrols during summer. The Christies Beach Surf Lifesaving Club patrols the beach between Witton Bluff in the south and the O’Sullivan Beach boat ramp in the North – around three and half kilometres of coastline.

The base patrol is situated either slightly to the south or north of the Christies Beach boat ramp. From this location roving patrols to the south beach and to O’Sullivan Beach are co-ordinated.

Beach patrols operate throughout the summer months from November to March between the hours of 1.00pm and 5.00pm on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. Surveillance patrols will operate during other times when there are members available to staff them and when the need arises.
