The body of a 9-month-old girl has been found on the sand at a Surfers Paradise beach on Queensland's Gold Coast.

Emergency workers were called to the scene near Staghorn Avenue, the Esplanade, around 12.30am on Monday after a member of the public found the child.

They performed CPR but were unable to revive her.

A 48-year-old male and a 23-year-old female are helping police with the investigation.

The child's cause of death remains unclear but it's understood she had no major visible injuries. An autopsy will be carried out.

The spot where she was found is just one kilometre from Cavill Avenue in the heart of Surfers Paradise.

Police are due to address the media this morning.
