A young woman has drowned and a man is missing after a late-night swim turned to tragedy.

The 29-year-old’s body was found in the shallows of Broadbeach, on the Gold Coast, by a passerby about 10.15pm Thursday.

CCTV cameras at the nearby Kurrawa Surf Club showed her and a man enter the water for a late-night swim.

Neither were filmed emerging from the water.

The passerby found the woman’s body close to shore and alerted police, who began investigating.
