Burleigh Head National Park

Month of visit: December 2023

My friends and I had an amazing time here! What we loved most is that it is easy to access by public transportation, paved walkways, and trail signs everywhere, which helps our navigation.

The place itself offers a great view as it shows us where the rainforest meets the ocean!
The track is also easy to follow and easy for beginner.
There are also some swimming opportunities as well, very beautiful!

Fantastic scenic walk around Burleigh point to Tallibudgera. Over bridge then out to spit on rock wall. Return for swim in clear cool water

Great views with a short hike to the top. The park has three entrances so make sure you know where you parked your car. Home to Wild turkeys and Geckos

Walk to the beautiful Echo beach, covered walkways with beautiful vegetation, scenic overview, approximately 1km long walk each way, definitely would recommend.

It's a 10 minute drive from our place and it's a perfect spot to do our weekend exercise. I love the nature and the beach along with it. I love doing our afternoon walks with nature in here. It's very refreshing and relaxing!

Rainforest meets ocean! Brilliant ocean and rainforest circuit walk through the magnificent Burleigh Heads National park! Spectacular votes of Burleigh Heads to Snapper Rocks and beyond! Tip: head out early as it gets busy and the track is narrow!
Super amazing viewing options along the track.
Bird lovers are in for a treat.. your senses will be drenched with sound sight and smell of the ocean and rainforest air!
Don’t forget your water and phone for awesome photo opportunities!

A nice trail. Pretty busy though. Great views.

My very favorite spot in Goldcoast for a good walk, beautiful photos spots and busy beach time. Ideal picnic location too.

Excellent lush and dense coastal rainforest track. Highly recommend a loop starting from John Laws Park by going uphill. Check out the lookouts and get down to the sandy inlet. Then take a turn back there by the shoreline track. It is about 40min return. Many people workout here and you can see amazing blue birdwing butterflies, dragons and kookaburras here. The kookaburras can be too friendly to humans.

A sanctuary of serenity, invigorating sea breeze, lush trees, singing birds, what a wonderful place to be in. It’s a relatively easy walk, suitable for children as well. Perfect weather to be there in early June, not too cold but at the same time cooling enough for you to trek through. Highly recommended a visit if you are in Gold Coast. Plenty of parking spaces. Many people are there for picnics too.

A what great place to be in. Paved walkway, trail signs were posted everywhere and offers great view of the city as well as the vast ocean.

Nature's masterpiece! Burleigh Heads National Park offers breathtaking ocean views, winding trails, and abundant wildlife – a serene escape.
Plenty of marked trails, picnic tables, metered parking, and it is dog friendly.

Love this place anytime of the day and year. Enjoy walking through the bushland and looking over the beautiful sea views. There are plenty of space for a picnic or just relax and chill listening to the lapping of the waves. It is one of the great spot to watch the sun going down and to take some photos.

What a beautiful rain forest - eucalypt forest with mangroves and plenty of wildlife and nature to see - I always love the walk - run / climb - so great for fitness - I travel over an hours drive just because this is such a beautiful spot! There is plenty of space to swim and frolic, play and sunbathe on the beach at the bottom, lots of shade, great for families - there is an easy walk to the top for young and old, disabled or just plain “I don’t wanna” people 😆 and then there is the harder trail - however for regular walkers / runners you can do it with a nice sweat - the views from the top are absolutely amazing. On way back down the steps are a bit of a killer lol but great workout and beautiful views - at the right time of year you can see whales too - Gods creation on full display for all here 💜

Beautiful area with lots of trees (lots of shade), water views, and very easy to walk around.
You could even push prams around.
Very peaceful
Perfect for short easy walks.

Great walk to Tullebudgera Ck for a swim or up to headland lookout.

This national park has a nice view with different trail tracks. Takes around 40 minutes for a return journey in the Rainbow Circuit.

This is my absolute favourite sunset spot in Gold Coast. I’ve been to many beaches in Gold Coast, but this one keeps me coming back.

Best spot on the area for family picnic, waking track to the lookout point (45min to an hour on the hill) gives you best views. Shaded areas with trees. Can see gold coast skyline in the distance. Evening and night time view is good too.

Easy to moderate hike with a stunning view. It took maximum an hour to walk to the lookout. There is a bench located near the lookout to rest and chat.
