Burleigh Head National Park
Burleigh Head is a small national park at Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast in South East Queensland, Australia, 81 km southeast of Brisbane. The park is tiny yet it contains a diverse range of habitats. Tallebudgera Creek enters the ocean directly south of the park. No camping is permitted in the park. Access is via the Gold Coast Highway which passes by the park. An information centre is available.
Burleigh Head National Park is a popular place for hiking, walkers and joggers because it located in a cool climate and provides great views. There are two walking tracks in the national park, one climbing the hill to the summit which is about 88 m above sea level, called the Ocean view circuit and another leading around the headland just above sea level called the Rainforest circuit. Watching migrating whales from within the park is another popular activity.
