Burleigh Heads National Park
A small but scenic headland reserve at the southern end of Burleigh's beach, with a rainforest walking trail looping the point and views up and down the Gold Coast coastline, plus a well-known surf break at its base. It's a compact contrast to the high-rise coastline further north — Burleigh itself has kept a more relaxed, low-rise character.
The headland walk takes under an hour and pairs naturally with time at Burleigh Beach itself or the town's cafe strip, making it an easy half-day stop rather than requiring dedicated planning.
