Subscriber only A 28-year-old man who was pulled from the water at an unpatrolled Sunshine Coast beach at the weekend is in intensive care. Lifesavers and lifeguards from Mooloolaba and Kawana rescued the man near Point Cartwright on Sunday after several people, in their 20s, were reported to be drifting about 50m offshore from beach access 200 towards beach access 201. A Surf Life Saving Queensland spokeswoman said lifeguards from Mooloolaba had performed CPR on one of the swimmers until paramedics arrived. The 28-year-old was rushed from Pacific Boulevard at Buddina to Sunshine Coast University Hospital about 4.20pm. A Sunshine Coast University Hospital spokesman on Monday said the man was in a critical but stable condition in the intensive care unit.
