2025 Burleigh Heads Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

Getting There - . By bus: get the 700 or 777! It will drop you off in the middle of Burleigh. Attractions - it's a perfect destination for families or if you just want that chill vibe kinda day. Burleigh had a beautiful hill where you can enjoy to read, maybe have a picnic, or just lay down on the grass and feel the breeze! It also has a beautiful park that leads you to another beach: Tallebudgera Beach. The walk is easy and takes about 10/15 minutes. Hotels - just right in front of the beach, you'll find Burleigh Hotel. It has beautiful rooms and it's also famous for the restaurant bar open for everyone. They normally have a lot of promotions for lunch, and their parmigiana it's just perfect! Food & Restaurants - this is for sure one of the best places on the Gold Coast to enjoy good food and good vibes! My favourite place to eat there is Justin Lane. A Italian restaurant with rooftop bar. They have the BEST pizza, the best cocktails and the best vibe. At night, if you don't enjoy crowded places, LockWood is your bar! Its a "hidden" bar, and you need to find a door on the alleyway. One of my favourite bars for sure! Shopping - you'll find a lot of clothes stores at James Street. As well as a lot of beautiful coffe shops. Last but not least, go to Burleigh in the morning, enjoy a beautiful beach and walk, then go to James street for a little shopping. Enjoy the restaurants and at night, go for a buzz! #staycation #familytravel

What a view of Surfers Paradise! Situated at the southern end of the Gold Coast, Burleigh Heads is like the Noosa on the Sunshine Coast. Gorgeous Beach, great places to eat and drink, great accommodation and generally a nice place to visit or live. You can walk, cycle or skate along the beach side path for kms. A short drive out to the highway giving you easy access to the rest of the Gold Coast or north up to Brisbane or south down to NSW, Covid lockdown permitting….. I love taking the trip south down here, a laid back, friendly atmosphere for a Sunday lunch, drinks and stroll along the beach. Thoroughly recommend a visit to anyone especially the Burleigh Pavilion.

Although Rainbow Bay was absolutely stunning and less crowded last time 🥹, I still can’t forget this beach that every international student in Brisbane must have visited! Located just south of Surfers Paradise, Burleigh Heads is always bustling on weekends. You’ll find people picnicking, surfing, sunbathing, walking their dogs, and hiking—there’s truly something for everyone 🌸🌊. ⭐️ For those like me who don’t have a car, you can take the Gold Coast train to Varsity Lakes and then transfer to a bus that takes you straight to the beach! Plus, public transport now permanently costs just 0.5 AUD 🙂↕️. There are plenty of food and drink options nearby, including the classic Aussie fish & chips, which is always a great choice. Recently, a new Yo-Chi store opened, and it seems like every local has a cup in hand 😋. ⭐️ Personally, I recommend stopping by Miami Fish Market (P4) before heading to the beach to indulge in their fresh seafood. From sea urchin and toro to octopus salad and sushi rolls, everything is absolutely top-notch 💯. This place has always been my favorite seafood spot on the Gold Coast 🥺! ⭐️ Another must-visit is Tarte Bakery & Cafe near the beach (P5 & P6). Their salmon bagel 🥯 and kouign amann are unforgettable, but keep in mind they close at 3 PM—don’t miss out! ⭐️ One of the reasons I love Burleigh Heads Beach so much is its expansive grassy area. Even when it’s crowded, it never feels cramped. The combination of the ocean and the surrounding trees creates a picturesque scene that looks like a painting. It’s incredibly photogenic and simply breathtaking 💘. P7 shows the golden hues of the sunset starting to appear 🥹. I adore this place so much, no matter how many times I visit, I always want to share it 💌.

#summervacay 📍 Google Maps: Burleigh Head National Park From here, you get a stunning panoramic view of the entire Gold Coast skyline.

#summervacay Burleigh Heads has that perfect mix of chilled beach town and natural escape. I started my visit with a morning swim at the beach, followed by a coffee from a beachfront café. Then I hiked the Burleigh Headland walk, where I got amazing views of the ocean and surfers below. The pandanus palms and rocky lookouts make it feel like a tropical hideaway. I even spotted whales in the distance. It’s my favorite Gold Coast beach by far.

Here are some delicious ramen restaurants on the Gold Coast. ①Muso Rame Mermaid Beach 📍Address: 2b/2484 Gold Coast Hwy, Mermaid Beach QLD 4218 There are several stores, but this one has handmade noodles, so I recommend it.

#aprilblooms 💞Reasons to Recommend: Rick Shores boasts an impressive ambience with panoramic ocean views. Its clean, minimalist design—highlighted by polished concrete floors and understated timber accents, compliments the stunning coastal backdrop. But what I love the most are the delicious Lobster & Prawn Jade Har Gow, Fried Moreton Bay Bug Roll, and the Matcha Semifreddo. However, they are quite expensive! Also, it can get really busy during peak seasons.

The park's lush greenery and diverse flora and fauna created a picturesque setting for an unforgettable outdoor adventure. The well-marked trails led me through dense forests, across babbling streams, and up to breathtaking viewpoints that offered panoramic vistas of the surrounding landscape. A hidden waterfall along the trail was a delightful surprise, with its cascading waters providing a soothing and mesmerizing sight.

Along the way, I encountered friendly hikers and even spotted some wildlife, adding to the park's charm.
