The body was recovered at around 10:15am on Sunday, two days after a 19-year-old swimmer was reported missing.
Police were called to Seven Mile Beach by a woman reporting she'd seen a swimmer in difficulties in the surf about 6pm on Friday.
Personal belongings were found unattended on the beach near the surf club before a man approached police with concerns his son had not returned from a swim.
Officers began a search immediately involving local lifesavers, the force's marine rescue command, ambulance personnel and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter.
Police said the man's family was at the beach on Sunday morning.
A report will be prepared for the coroner.
