Burleigh Heads National Park is a scenic rainforested headland at Tallebudgera Creek estuary in the heart of the Gold Coast.

Burleigh Heads National Park is a quiet retreat for walkers and wildlife watchers. The Oceanview walk (1.2km one way) is a track leading around the rocky headland from Tallebudgera Creek to the southern edge of Burleigh Heads township. You can look at the tumbled masses of six-sided basalt columns, and relax by the creek at Echo Beach. Either return by the same path or via the rainforest circuit path and Tumgun Lookout.

For the safety of visitors, sections of this track coastline may be closed during wet weather, due to the risk of rock falls. Check at the QPWS Burleigh Head Information Centre for the latest information on track closures. The Rainforest circuit (2.3km return) is a track featuring the Tumgun Lookout. The lookout is a good place to watch for humpback whales splashing offshore in winter and spring.
