Why this event?

A one-way ticket to ocean swimming joy on the Sunshine Coast.

Think warm water, beautiful conditions, a point-to-point adventure, and surf club hospitality at the finish.

Starting from the rocky outcrop known as “The Bluff” at Mooloolaba Spit, swimmers hug the coastline and let the ocean do its thing, gliding south with the prevailing current, past golden beaches, rolling waves, and cheering beachgoers, all the way to the welcoming flags at Alexandra Headland Surf Club.

This is a swim about rhythm and flow. No buoys to lap around, just a natural ocean track and the thrill of going from one iconic beach to another.

It’s short enough to be achievable, long enough to be satisfying, and always full of energy. Expect a fast, fun swim with plenty of support on the beach and in the water. Whether you’re trying your first surf point-to-point or gunning for a personal best, Bluff to Bar delivers the goods with laid-back coastal vibes and a solid hit of Sunshine Coast magic.

Plus, there’s always a coffee, a cold drink, and a post-swim story waiting for you at Alex Surf Club.
