Kings Beach Bathing Pavilion, Heritage-listed bathing pavilion in Kings Beach, Australia
Description
Kings Beach Bathing Pavilion is a single-story stone building located at a beach in Queensland with a central passage running through it. Changing rooms and toilet facilities line both sides, while Spanish Mission style details crown the roof.
History
The pavilion was built in 1937 following a design by architect Clifford E Plant commissioned by Landsborough Shire Council. The project reflected growing efforts to develop beach locations as travel destinations and provide the necessary infrastructure.
Culture
The building shows how beach visits became a popular leisure activity in the 1930s and how communities invested to welcome swimmers. Its design reflects the desire of that era to make public bathing places not just functional but also visually appealing.
Practical
The pavilion is open year-round and provides public toilets, changing rooms, and a small kiosk for visitors. Those planning to use the facilities should prepare for typical beach weather conditions and arrive with appropriate gear.
Did you know?
The building was the first major infrastructure project by local authorities to position Kings Beach as a travel destination. This early investment helped establish the area as a modern beach holiday location.
