The woman was discovered 24 hours after a man was found dead on the rocks at Echo Beach in Tallebudgera on Saturday morning.
Police believe the man may have suffered a medical episode by the water’s edge.
A 31-year-old man was also found dead in a Varsity Lakes unit complex pool on Sunday morning.
These deaths are all unrelated and are not being treated as suspicious by police.
Superintendent Brett Jackson said it was a traumatic weekend for passersby on the popular beaches to see the bodies.
“It was a sombre weekend for many,” he told reporters on Monday.
