Volunteer lifesavers will soon wrap up patrols after enduring an epic season of big crowds and rescues across Coast beaches.
Surf Life Saving Queensland's 2020/21 volunteer patrol season, which runs from September to May, ends on Monday.
It was a busy season, with not only attendance but rescue figures up on last year.
A total of 1,188,065 people visited Coast beaches this season, with lifesavers making 334 rescues.
That's 124,423 more visitors and 40 more rescues than the 2019-20 season.
SLSQ Sunshine Coast regional operations manager Aaron Purchase said it had been an extremely busy season across all Queensland beaches.
"Our lifesavers have done a remarkable job over the past nine months keeping beachgoers safe," he said.
