Due to unfavourable forecast weather conditions and our commitment to keeping our participants, staff and volunteers safe we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Alex Swim on Saturday 23rd September 2023.
The first swim in the Ocean Swim Series will be at Alexandra Headland (Alex), on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. With its pristine sandy shores and crystal-clear turquoise waters, it offers a paradise like setting for locals and visitors alike. The beach is renowned for its excellent surf conditions, attracting avid surfers and water sports enthusiasts. It boasts a long stretch of coastline, perfect for leisurely walks, jogging, or simply basking in the sun. The towering Alexandra Headland Headland provides stunning panoramic views of the beach and is a popular spot for whale watching during the migration season. Additionally, the area offers a range of amenities, including picnic areas, barbecue facilities, and nearby cafes, ensuring a memorable beach experience for all.
