Description
Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast is world renowned for its spectacular surfing conditions. Burleigh attracts international pro surfers with its tubular Burleigh Barrel waves, and is the venue for major surfing tournaments like the Quicksilver Pro Surf Tournament.
Burleigh Heads is nestled beneath the rolling Burleigh headland, which is studded with distinctive pines and pandanus palms. The headland was formed by an ancient volcano and is a sacred spot for Aborigines who once gathered here to fish and feast. It adjoins the Burleigh Head National Park on the banks of the Tallebudgera Creek. From the headland you have expansive views north to the high-rises of Surfers Paradise. There's also a lovely beachfront park that is enjoyed by locals and tourists alike.
Burleigh Heads has a chilled out, beach atmosphere with several alfresco restaurants, bars and cafes. This relaxed charm exudes from everything in Burleigh, making it a perfect holiday destination.
