The first body, a man in his 60s, was found at Echo Beach in Tallebudgera Creek at approximately 6:45am on Saturday. The second body, a woman believed to be in her 70s or 80s, was located at about 5:40am on Sunday near the Palm Beach Surf Lifesaving Club on Jefferson Lane.
Neither death is being treated as suspicious, and police have not indicated whether the incidents are linked. Queensland Police have established crime scenes at both locations and are continuing their investigations.
