NORTH BURLEIGH SLSC
If it’s casual, relaxed and family-friendly food you’re after, North Burleigh Supporters’ Club has to be your first port of call. Perched on the absolute beachfront with views from Miami Hill right down to Burleigh Headland and Snapper Rocks, their alfresco beer garden – the only one at a Gold Coast surf club – is the perfect place to watch the surf or enjoy the live music of their Sunday Sesh. On the menu, expect your classic club favourites – fish and chips, chicken parmys and hearty roasts – as well as some raved-about signature dishes, like their macadamia and spiced chicken salad or seafood, fresh from the trawler. All this, washed down with a selection of local and imported beers and a carefully curated wine list including on tap ‘barrel-fresh’ premium wine, means there’s never been a more appetising way to provide vital support to the North Burleigh surf community. Funds raised from food and beverages sold at the Supporters’ Club go towards volunteer training, lifesaving equipment and the beach patrollers who watch over the near 200,000 North Burleigh beach- goers every summer.
