Burleigh Heads National Park
Highlights
Burleigh Heads National Park is an amazing spot for kids and teens to explore. This wild and natural headland on the Gold Coast is perfect for hiking, wildlife spotting, and enjoying breathtaking ocean views. You might even spot whales during spring or sea eagles soaring above the waves!
Take the Oceanview Walk to see ancient volcanic columns meeting the sea or explore the Rainforest Circuit, which feels like stepping back in time. At Tumgun Lookout, keep your eyes open for humpback whales during their migration season. Don’t forget to look out for koalas, brush turkeys, and water dragons along the way!
Whether you're hiking the trails, relaxing on Echo Beach, or enjoying a picnic on the Burleigh foreshore, this park offers something exciting for everyone.
