About Burleigh Heads Walk
Burleigh Heads walk offers a structured route through the national park situated on the headland between Burleigh Beach and Tallebudgera Creek. This track features two main paths including the Rainforest circuit and the Ocean track, which provide different perspectives of the local topography. Visitors encounter native flora and basalt columns formed by ancient volcanic activity while traversing the well-maintained gravel and bitumen surfaces. The location serves as a significant ecological site within the 4220 postcode, preserving a pocket of coastal rainforest amidst the surrounding urban development.
The northern entrance of the walk is easily accessible from the Burleigh Beach area, making it a popular destination for both residents and visitors. Several lookout points, such as Tumgun Lookout, offer clear views across the Pacific Ocean and south towards the Tweed Coast. Facilities at the track entrances include public toilets and drinking water stations to accommodate those completing the full loop. This natural attraction remains a key focal point for outdoor recreation, providing a direct connection to the region's marine and terrestrial wildlife.
