About the amphitheatre

The Scarborough Beach Amphitheatre opened in early 2008 as part of the beachfront upgrades. Its terraced seating faces west across the sand to the Indian Ocean, and with the sand dunes removed between the beach and the amphitheatre, the broad views recall how Scarborough Beach looked in the 1960s. Ten years after opening, it hosted crowds on the final day of the 2018 Australian Surf Life Saving Championships ("the Aussies").
