Would you like to spend your vacation in a place with a laid-back vibe, great surf beaches, and lush rainforest? Then make Burleigh Heads your vacation destination. The Gold Coast suburb can provide you with the best seaside escape and so much more.
Aside from natural attractions and family-friendly activities a lot is going on in and around Burleigh Heads. Why not participate in the following whilst holidaying with us at Burleigh Surf.
Movies Under The Stars
A great way to spend your evening is to watch a movie under the stars with the family. The City of Gold Coast has a free, family-friendly program called Movies under the Stars. The film showing happens every Saturday night in different places across the city. In Burleigh Heads, there are two upcoming screenings.
The Croods: A New Age is on January 22. The Croods: A New Age, also known as The Croods 2, is a 2020 American computer-animated adventure comedy film released by Universal Pictures and produced by DreamWorks Animation. The story occurs during the fictional Pliocene epoch known as “The Croodaceous.”
Then on February 19, Movies under the Stars presents Abominable. This DreamWorks Animation and Pearl Studio’s 2019 computer-animated adventure film follows Yi, a teenage girl. She meets a young Yeti on the roof of her Shanghai apartment building and names him Everest.
Along with her naughty friends Jin and Peng, they embark on an epic quest to reunite the magical creature with his family. To help Everest return home, the trio of friends will have to stay one step ahead of Burnish, a wealthy man intent on capturing a Yeti, and zoologist Dr Zara.
Gather the kids and watch a movie under the stars.
Dolly Parton Dance Party
“Find out who you are and do it on purpose,” country music icon Dolly Parton once said. For nearly 60 years, the country music icon has been singing her heart out and urging us to be the brightest, gaudiest, most authentic version of ourselves.
Mo’s Desert Clubhouse is throwing a party to celebrate Dolly Parton’s 76th birthday. Dress up in your best Dolly outfit or something uniquely you, and add a little extra glitter. On February 5, 7 PM, Mo’s Desert Clubhouse in Burleigh Heads will host a Dolly Parton Dance Party. Get your tickets early.
Red Bull Foam Wreckers
A brand-new surfing event will hit the shores of Burleigh Heads on February 19. Jamie O’Brien, a global surfing icon, created the Red Bull Foam Wreckers in collaboration with Red Bull. The event is billed as an “anti-surf contest.” It has only one requirement: to ride a soft-top (foamie) surfboard.
Yes, you can catch as many waves as you want and have fun. But first, you must spin the Shred Wheel to determine which soft-board model you will compete with. Interesting, right?
BOWLZILLA Gold Coast
The largest skater-for-skater gathering in Australia is back. BOWLZILLA Gold Coast, now in its incredible seventh year, continues to provide a platform for the future of Australian skating.
