The Tamarama Surf Life Saving Club was founded in 1906 and operates at Tamarama Beach, Sydney. The clubhouse sits at the northern end of the beach.http://www.tamaramaslsc.com/ {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100221035429/http://www.tamaramaslsc.com/ |date=21 February 2010 }} Tamarama SLSC

The club was formed after a dispute between local beach-goers and the operator of an amusement park, Wonderland City, on the beachfront. The operator erected a fence to prohibit access to the amusement park from the beach, but the fence had the effect of obstructing public access to the beach. The surfers and swimmers prevailed when the New South Wales government declared the beach to be public land, and some of them subsequently formed the surf life saving club.{{cite web|url=http://www.waverley.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/8750/Tamarama.pdf|title=Tamarama: a brief history|publisher=Waverley Council|accessdate=24 February 2015}}

Tamarama Beach has a reputation for danger, due to its strong rip currents. Surf Life Saving New South Wales regards it as the state's most dangerous patrolled beach. However, there has never been a death at the beach while it has been patrolled.{{cite web | title=Tamarama Surf Life Saving Club's life members combine to tell their story of the "little club with a huge heart" in A Way of Life | website=DailyTelegraph | date=24 February 2015 | url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/newslocal/city-east/tamarama-surf-life-saving-clubs-life-members-combine-to-tell-their-story-of-the-little-club-with-a-huge-heart-in-a-way-of-life/story-fngr8h22-1226989908211 | ref={{sfnref | DailyTelegraph | 2015}} | accessdate=24 February 2015}}
