When thinking about what it means to be Australian, some of the first things that come to mind are mateship, larrikinism, perseverance, hard work and the generosity of volunteerism. The Surf Life Saving Movement certainly reflects all of these characteristics and in this short history, it is clear that the Umina SLSC has followed in the same tradition. From its earliest days, instigated initially by ‘youthful rebellion’, Umina SLSC has never wavered from its charter of sticking together to work for and with their community.

This is the local beach for the Umina residential area and is used heavily by these people as well as holiday makers and people in the caravan parks. Popular beach with an unusual low gradient surf zone that may be calm or driven by several rips and tidal currents.
