URPoint Details
Burleigh Heads is one of Australia’s most famous surf breaks. The first man-on-man surfing contest, the Stubbies was held at Burleigh Heads, Queensland, in 1977. Michael Peterson beat Rabbit Bartholomew in the semi and then MR in the final.
The north-east facing beach is protected by the point to the south and offers one of the best swimming, body boarding and surfing beaches on the Gold Coast.
The Quicksilver Pro is often contested at Burleigh Heads when the surf at Kirra and snapper rocks is s... er, poor. The Breaka Burleigh Pro and many other amateur and junior events are also contested at Burleigh heads each year.
