Burleigh Heads National Park offers a peaceful haven with littoral rainforest and reminders of the Kombumerri people’s culture.
Walk through the park from Burleigh to see fringing mangroves, windswept tussocks or open forest.
Hardy walkers climb to the top of Big Burleigh.
Palm Beach’s low rise accommodation and wide expanse of beaches lies to the south. Burleigh foreshore offers a bird’s eye view of the northern seascape.
Burleigh barrels aren’t wine casks – they’re the fabulous south-easterly swell which rolls around the headland claiming the beach’s position as a leading site for national surf events including the Quiksilver Pro. Have a picnic, eat at an outdoor café or visit the two surf clubs. Check out markets on the last Sunday of the month.
A shopping centre is flanked by distinctive pines and pandanus palms. West is a booming industrial area with major exporters and manufacturers such as Billabong.
