Enjoy the 2019 Gold Coast Open Near Our Burleigh Beach Apartments

The popular Flight Centre Burleigh Pro is back for 2019 with a brand new name: the Gold Coast Open!

Part of the World Surf League Qualifying Series, the revamped Gold Coast Open is six days - previously four days in last year’s Flight Centre Burleigh Pro - of world-class surfing on Burleigh Beach, Gold Coast. Set to take place near our Burleigh Beach accommodation, the 2019 Gold Coast Open will feature some of the world’s best surfers showcasing their talents on the waves in a bid to rack up points and qualify for next year’s World Championship Tour.

Over the six-day period, Burleigh Beach will become a festival hub of thrilling surf events that will include the signature Open Men’s and Women’s Pro Surf Division along with two brand new categories: the Pro Junior Men’s and Women’s. Surfers from all over Australia as well as international countries will be participating to prove their worth, offering a diverse pool of surfing talent for both spectators and fans to enjoy from the picturesque Burleigh beachfront.

As well as six full days of competitive surfing, the 2019 Gold Coast Open will be hosting free family-friendly entertainment, which will include half-pipe skateboarding, morning yoga sessions on Burleigh Beach, live music from Tones & I, Donny Love and The Vanns, and an open-air screening of 2007 animated movie Surf’s Up.

The 2019 Gold Coast Open is the perfect excuse to head to Burleigh Beach this autumn, and you can enjoy an unbeatable location next to the action with our beachfront Burleigh apartments.

This unmissable six-day surfing exhibition will take place from Tuesday, May 7 to Sunday, May 12. For an affordable stay near the event, visit Burleigh on the Beach.
