About Burleigh Heads
Burleigh Heads sits approximately 15 km north of Gold Coast Airport on the Pacific coast. The suburb is defined by its volcanic headland, protected national park, and long stretch of beach running south towards Palm Beach. The Burleigh point break is one of the most iconic surf spots on the Gold Coast, drawing surfers from across the country during the right swell.
James Street is the suburb’s lifestyle hub — lined with independent cafés, restaurants and boutique shops. Justins Park and the national park walking tracks offer easy coastal walking. Tallebudgera Creek, just south of the headland, is popular with families and paddlers.

“Smooth, stress-free transfer from Gold Coast Airport. The driver was early, very professional, and helped with our luggage. We had a baby seat fitted ready to go, which made a massive difference with our 8-month-old after a long flight. Highly recommend.”
