Burleigh Heads, Gold Coast

Aerial view of Burleigh Heads

Burleigh Heads is home to the Billabong surf company, and though company tours are not available, there is a nearby factory outlet with plenty of bargains.

The beach itself in the Burleigh area is host to some of Australia’s most exciting surfing competitions such as the Quicksilver Surf Pro Tournament. Waves are high and winds may be strong.

Nearby Burleigh Heads National Park provides a gorgeous view of the coastline when you reach the lookout point.

Some local delights include – oddly enough – Montezuma’s Mexican Restaurant. The servings are huge and service quite friendly. With plenty of nacho top-ups upon request.

For more sophisticated dining experiences with a beachside view, try OSKARS. Plenty of fresh seafood and gourmet selections with pristine views of Burleigh Heads Beach.

Burleigh Heads beach also provides plenty of picnic and barbeque areas. Dogs are allowed around with a leash. Watch out for the screaming children running around holding an ice-cream.

Enjoy a day at the nearby Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary with plenty of opportunities to feed and pet the kangaroos. The birds show is highly spectacular as they tend to enjoy landing on bald men’s heads and making very small children fear for their lives.
