Burleigh Heads Beach
Live conditions and scores
Burleigh Heads represents the Gold Coast's soul, with long, hollow right-handers that rank among Australia's best waves, while the main beach offers more approachable conditions for swimmers and beginner surfers. The park is Burleigh Head National Park, and the headland rainforest walk delivers stunning ocean views and regular whale sightings during migration season. Burleigh maintains a village atmosphere despite being part of the Gold Coast. James Street's cafes and restaurants create a sophisticated yet relaxed dining scene. Access to Cannon Rock and the cliff line boulder fields at Burleigh Head National Park is strictly prohibited due to ongoing rockfall risk.
