Description
At Burleigh Head National Park, ancient volcanic columns meet the sea. The Kombumerri people named this prominent rocky headland Jellurgal. Today, its northern side is one of Australia's most famous surfing point breaks. Walk to Tumgun lookout, where migrating whales may be seen. Admire the coastal vista to Surfers Paradise across Burleigh Beach, the venue for many international surfing tournaments. Walk the 1.2 kilometre Oceanview walk through a living museum of plants, many of them rare. See Australian brush-turkey nesting mounds, seabirds and water dragons. Picnic on Burleigh foreshore or relax on Echo Beach. A ramp to the fishing platform provides access for wheelchairs. Visit the information centre to learn about the park's interesting history.
