A 67-year-old man died at Peregian Beach Sunday morning while swimming just north of the flagged area.
Sunshine Coast Surf Lifesaving duty officer Sebastian de Paula said the man had been swimming about 200m north of the flagged area.
He said a person known to the man, understood to be the man’s carer, raised the alarm about 10.30am.
