One of the most magical sunset spots on the Coast! Burleigh Beach is such a beautiful place to be, especially at sunset. The view is amazing, with golden light over the ocean and the Surfers Paradise skyline in the distance. It’s a great spot for a picnic, a walk along the beach, or just to sit and take in the scenery. The mix of beach, park, and headland gives it a really special feel.

Awesome beach. It can get a little crowded at times, but it’s a great spot to spend the whole day. Perfect for surfing too.

Burleigh Beach blends soft white sand, ocean views, and a city skyline—relaxed yet vibrant.

Morning walks are just what the soul needs, sun, salty air and water! Always beautiful at any point of Burleigh beach!

There is incredibly fine sand. The ocean was very wavy, which was good news for surfing, but disappointing for those who came to swim. Parking and Toilets are located right at the entrance. It is a beach where you can have a great time.

Burleigh Beach on the Gold Coast is an incredible destination with beautiful views, especially during sunset. The beach is a great spot for surfing, with perfect waves for all levels. Families will love the playground nearby, providing fun for kids while adults relax. The ocean views are stunning, creating a serene atmosphere for everyone. Plus, the area is surrounded by fantastic restaurants, making it easy to grab a delicious meal after a day at the beach. Burleigh Beach truly offers something for everyone.

Amazing views, very clean, tidy,and relaxing.

Beautiful area, great place for a walk and nice to see the lizards. Shout out to the man running the opposite direction to me walking, with the high 5 on the final time we passed. Amazing views.

Great place to visit, have a walk and experience the stunning view!

Fantastic views and a lovely walk. It’s a good stretch of the legs to get to the top but I’m a reasonably unfit 61 year old and I managed it just fine ! Views are good for whale watching apparently. Only loses a star because it’s just about the only place on this part of the coast that charges for parking (which I didn’t spot so I got a ticket - my own fault for just assuming!).

A path leading through a beautiful coastline. Past white sand beaches and aboriginies traditional cultural monuments. Very pleasant walk.

You can experience nature inside a natural rainforest right in the middle of the city. The view point provides a mesmerizing view of the goldcoast and pacific ocean. You can even see Dolphins there !! You can also enjoy nice swim in pacific ocean. I loved it. ❤️

This is a most do walk that I would recommend to everybody. We decided to go for a mix of half rainforest and half beach. Nice to see much wildlife .

Peaceful walk along the Oceanview Track at Burleigh Hills -fresh sea breeze, lush greenery, and stunning coastal views. A perfect reset for the soul.

The park is quite small. Some areas are still recovering from cyclone Alfred. There were not too many animals... 2h will be more than enough to see everything, including attending some of the daily talks. It's not possible to feed the Kangaroos 🦘, but depending on the time of the day you go, you might see the park carers doing so. It's quite cute to see them eating sweet potato 😊 Friendly staff members who will be happy to answer any questions you might have. I visited the park on a Wednesday. It was quite quiet, which was pretty pleasant. Hope you have an enjoyable day 🐨🦘🤗

Close to Currumbin wildlife park this is a Park with a lot of history. Returning after 25 years, the park has detoriated from its earlier years. This historic park needs to be spruced up especially with the pot hole road access and the cafe and more wildlife related activities. The cafe is average . Besides vegetation options ( has only 1 ), needs better menu. The quality of what they serve is fine

Beautiful haven with superb grounds that showcase the extraordinary beauty of the natural environment, sadly depleted by development. Well-cared for birds, animals and reptiles and superbly knowledgeable friendly guides. Nice cafe and a thoughtfully planned room for children to learn and play. Very accessible for prams, wheelchairs. Lots of shady seating areas. Most beautiful anhd important attraction on the coast.

Beautiful setting. Easy to get round and enjoy the native wildlife. Bird show was short but very informative. Coffee at the cafe was very good too.

If you want to learn about Australia's wildlife and the efforts being made to save dangered species, this the place to go. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and it was encouraging to hear all about the park's achievements. I came to see a platypus and I wasn't disappointed. Such a thrill.

Well laid out and fully accessible for anyone with mobility aids. Animals were viewable whilst still having space. Not busy when I went. Unfortunately, the platypus enclosure was being refurbished so I wasn't able to see them.

My mate Dan and I had a great tour with Jenna. Enjoy a wholesome, altruistic Australian wildlife experience where you can learn how what we do at home and when travelling impacts native animals and our precious Australian biosphere. Who gives this wonderful space one star? It's a conservation and rescue space for wildlife, not a hugging zoo. You shouldn't assume you can hug the animals in advance as it may not be safe or healthy for the animals or the visitors. $27 is not expensive. We paid extra to help the cute bundles of joy at Fleay's. For those who reckon you couldn't see anything check out my awesome new desktop wallpaper. Yes Jenna, you're a chatterbox, but we loved every bit.

Outstanding market with good priced wallet friendly fresh produce, and not mentioning the variety of food and general store stands. I can see why the other reviews rave about them. A must see place. Don't let vegan donuts name put you off.. it's delicious

Amazing farmers market with lots of variety and fresh produce.

A great market with everything needed for the weekly shop, veges, fruit, bread, pantry plus lots more. Shout out to Brat Haus for delicious spicy sausage, sauerkraut & mustard. And to Daisy Days coffee van for super friendly service & best coffee. Lucky locals, having such a great market

A fantastic farmers market to buy and support local growers, farmers and small business. Whatever fruit or veg you seek there is bound to be a farmer or 2 supplying season fresh produce ready to serve your family ! All our farm fresh goodies for < $55 🥑🥒🎃🧅🧄🫑

Terrific range of produce, street food vendors and arts/crafts. Update: my new favourite place to eat "the vegery" is now here. Absolutely amazing veggie goodness. Worth going just for them 👍

Great place to come and pickup some fresh fruit and Veges at reasonable prices. Often come here on the weekend and do the fruit and veg run with the family and try to support the locals. Some good food here and lots of stalls so you always get what you come here for. Happy to recommend this market to locals and visitors

Saturday Markets: A wide variety of organic and non-organic fruit and vegetables are available. Food and coffee outlets along with live music make these markets a great place to visit.

DO NOT FOLLOW GOOGLE MAP DROP PIN AND DRIVE UP THE MOUNTAIN!!! You will arrive at residential dead end. If you don’t want to see the palm beach side, you don’t need to hike up. The parking lot already have good view of goals coast beach and relaxing grass patch.

Love the view here. You can see the southern side of the Gold Coast here, the coastline is beautiful. You can even see Coolangatta from here, which is the suburb of Gold Coast that borders with NSW!

Great lookout, has a bit steep uphill walk to get to the lookout. We just took our time to get there with a fiew rest on the wat. But really worth it

A quiet lookout perched above the park, offering a stunning view toward Palm Beach. It’s an easy stop along the trail and one of the best spots in the area for taking photos—especially on a clear day when the coastline stretches endlessly into the distance.

Beautifull view from the top. So refreshing. Easy walk for kids and Adults.

Apparently I was here today. Never known it as Tumgun lookout, referred to locally as "co*k rock". Anyway, the walk through the national park is lovely and the views are amazing. Another lovely spot on the gc that everyone should go see at least once

Great little walk in the Burleigh National Park. We took the short track to the lookout which was nice and easy. The view at the lookout was certainly worth it especially since it was a clear, sunny day. Would recommend.

Unforgettable and enlightening morning. Thank you Jellurgal Cultural Centre team for warmly and generously sharing your Cultural knowledge of this hugely significant area. It made such a difference to my stay "In the GC" which is very surface much of the time. Everyone should take time to visit this Centre and take an enriching tour. Grow your knowledge and develop some understanding of the people who have been the resilient Custodians of this land and all that lives apon it for over 20,000 years. Thank you to the elders of the past, present and future for this opportunity/experience. P.s. Hope that Jellurgal becomes the official name of this special area in future!

An absolutely stunning and eye-opening day with Kailen whilst taking in all the sights, stories and songs that Jellurgal had to offer. Without spoiling the content, if you're looking for a cultural trip whilst enjoying the Gold Coast, don't book anything before you've done this. A trip through time and history like nothing we've ever done before. Topped off with a hike through the rain forest whilst dolphins jumped around in the bay in front of us. Simply magic.

What an AWESOME experience. Our tour guide brought the history of the Aboriginal, from this area, to life for us. It is always a plus to learn of the rich history, and hear the stories of the peoples of this land. So grateful to have this shared experience from Austrailas' Aboriginals, and the Indigenous from our country, Canada, specifically North Western Ontario. Thank you for this amazing journey.

A fabulous and enriching experience with Kailen from Jellurgal Aboriginal cultural centre, listening to the creation stories while walking the sacred lands. Its eye opening to walk a path i have walked before but see new things. It almost felt spiritual.

Fantastic experience to learn more about Aboriginal culture. I was really impressed with what was covered in the time we were there. Being in such a beautiful place to learn about the richness of this ancient and complex culture was something really special. Highly recommend! The gift shop was fabulous too. The first place I've been on the Gold Coast with authentic and unique gifts to take back home.

We absolutely loved our walkabout with Kailen. He’s a truly amazing storyteller and the stories he shared gave me goosebumps. We visited during rainy weather with my 75-year-old mother and he was so patient and kind. My 9-year-old loved it, too, and Kailen kept him engaged throughout the tour and created an environment where he felt safe to ask a ton of questions. Truly, one of a kind experience, we’re so glad we found.

I really enjoyed the experience as Heidi was a very knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide. The tour lasted just the right amount of time and kept me fully engaged. You have to stop off at the shop on the way out as they had so many items that made great mementos of the visit.

Quite interesting, creative, a good place to go for some inspiration street food before go to Burleigh beach. Love the energetic atmosphere, highly recommended.

Really lovely market and definitely boutique as marketed (not cheap trash and treasure style, more expensive) with variety of home wares, and lots of clothing and accessory stores including second hand clothing - I went with my husband and he noted it’s definitely more for a female shopper than male! There are food trucks available and ample parking in front and on the side streets. I thought it would be bigger however it’s quite small understandably as it sits on school grounds.

Great atmosphere, very family and small child friendly! There were lots of really good quality stalls with a wide range of products. Well worth checking out!

Such a nice morning out! honestly the best food and coffee I have had in a while. The oysters were so fresh and this is the best toasted sandwich I have ever eaten. They were about $14-$16 however I would pay it again! They also had live music which was so good.

Great local market. Not so crowded which is good for me. Nice food, fresh fruits and veggies, some local staff, love music. Definitely good to go here if you around.

On site parking on school playing field. A great choice of fresh produce stalls, street foods, plants and handicrafts. A really pleasant market to visit

Actually, this market is open in the 1st and the 3rd Sunday every month. From 8,30am to 1 pm. Nice Coffee and nice people.

Small area of parkland with a kids playground located at the southern end of Burleigh Heads beach and a short walk to the main shopping and dining area. Best suited to young children, or those who are young at heart.

I visited John Laws Park at the Esplanade in Burleigh Heads and absolutely loved it! It's perfectly located between Burleigh Beach and Burleigh Head National Park, making it a great spot to relax before or after a walk. The viewing deck offers breathtaking views of the city skyline, beach, ocean, and waves — incredibly soothing and peaceful for the mind. Whether you're there for a quiet moment or to take in the scenery, it's a beautiful and calming spot that’s definitely worth visiting. There's plenty of parking available and the toilets are clean and well-maintained.

When my cousin’s wife suggested we pay a visit to this area of the Gold Coast I never imagined it would have been this amazing! What a beautiful scenic area this is. The hills surrounding the area as well as the beach with surfers and sun bathers alike. And this was during their winter! It was a scenic walk along the path and never a dull moment! 😎👍

one of the most beautiful beaches in Gold Coast. this beach leads to a an amazing walking trace which is so pretty and worth to see. a stunning look out is around the corner as well

Crystal clear water, and plenty of little treasures washed up on the shore. Perfect place to enjoy a coffee and amazing views

Nice place, good restaurants and shops nearby. Busy and yet not overly crowded. If you’re a tourist this is not the place for you, you will be disappointed with the night life. Surfers Paradise is much better!

Perfect place for families, picnic, national park walk, dining out. There is a playground that little kids can enjoy.

I recently found this Art Gallery and Picture Framing business at Burleigh Heads when I was at Ultratune. (located next door) They served me a great coffee and I returned with a music poster for framing! The poster turned out fantastic.... I would be happy to recommend Watling Art Services and the framers there for any picture framing job. Thanks guys!

I have bought a few works here over the years and have found the service and knowledge of art to be exceptional. Very friendly, family run, good coffee, with years of experience and a great range of indigenous art and sculpture. Well worth the visit.

Great Gallery and excellent service always a joy, so interesting every time it's different thanks Antony

Watling Art Services helped me with appraising and valuing a few artworks left to me through family. AJ Watling was prompt and very upfront about the value of my art. Just an honest appraisal for a good price. They even cleaned and re-framed a piece for me which came up a treat! Thanks

Best gallery on the Gold Coast!

Huge beach side market with loads of unique local art, craft, delicious food, entertainment and more.

Well worth a wander around. Good variety of stalls and a lot of genuine 'cottage industry' sellers which was great. Everything from artists and homemade jewellery through to fortune tellers! There is the usual contingent of 'middle men' selling cheap tat, but they are the minority. If you want to spend an hour (it's not huge) pottering around in a great location, you won't be disappointed. One small word of warning - parking isn't great, so you might have to walk a bit; though that's not a problem with such a great view.

Excellent market. You can get anything you need here! Love the Jewellery stall that does Sterling silver jewellery, Desert Wanderer designs. Grab a coffee, listen to the live music and support small businesses, win win.

All good .Very consistent and fresh . Weve been many times . My fussy mother cannot find perfect oysters anywhere else except GET HOOKED . Well done

SUCH a nice surprise to see this pop up when we were out at the beach. Some great talent for you to check out and possibly take something home for your wall.

Great location to trade as a Bowen Therapist

Excellent variety of quality handmade local arts and crafts. Meet the maker is a great draw card!

This shop has just recently undergone a change and is attracting more families. It's got a great food court and great play ground for the kids! It has everything you need and then some. From Woolies at one end to Big W down the other end and JB HiFi in between. Stacks of parking. Good amenities. Great cafes. Always clean.

I visited here for the first time and in my opinion as a traveler, it’s a massive and versatile that has every kind of shops, such as BIG W, JB HI-FI, Woolies, Aldi, fresh food market, discount shop, pharmacies, Telstra, clothing stores, gift shops, just to name a few, as well as banks and and clinics. However, there are not as many restaurants and I didn’t see any pubs or bars but the restaurants are nearly all budget friendly. You can easily get here by 753, 754, or 756 buses from Broadbeach South tram station. The number of the parking spaces here seems insane. If you’re a big shopper and have been to Pacific Fair, Australia Fair, and Robina Town Centre, you can take this place into consideration. Overall, it’s an underrated location for shopping but not eating.

Everything is under 1 roof, & there's plenty of nice meals there also which sadly have jumped to be quite expensive, but overall a great day & bought a few goodies 😀 definitely worth checking the place out.

I took my terminally ill friend to Burleigh Stockland on Saturday 6th September. I required a wheelchair. As usual the Centre was very busy. I had no sticker so parked quiet a way from Centre Care. Well a huge thank you to the lovely lady manning the Centre Saturday for her care and concern. A huge thank you to both security guards for their help getting to and from my car. My friend loved her day out, and YOU made the day just so easy. Thank you.

I actually like this shopping centre and there always seems to be enough parking which is just fantastic. It's got everything you need as well.

VERY large shopping complex that is spread out over hectares of land. There are a number of large retail chains that have all have large stores onsite that are separate and independent of Stockland. The Stockland shopping center is a massive indoor, airconditioned shopping town with hundreds of small and large retail stores including groceries supermarkets. Practices a functional Covid protocol and has a QR system in place. Wheel Chair friendly, public toilets onsite.

Great precinct. Lots of fab businesses that have become our weekly regular. Loads of excellent small business owners that we have become very close with that give us some wonderful necessities, services and treats :)

A Warm and Welcoming Church Community Attending Burleigh Village Uniting Church has been a truly uplifting experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and kindness. The preaching is heartfelt and inspiring, delivering messages that are both thought-provoking and encouraging. The sense of community here is incredible—everyone is so welcoming and supportive, making it easy to feel at home. Whether you're looking for spiritual growth, meaningful connections, or just a place to reflect, this church is a wonderful place to be. Highly recommend to anyone seeking a faith-filled and inclusive community!

We went for a visit, so glad we did. The welcome we got from everyone was exceptional, we felt like part of a family from the time we walked in. Rev Ralph gave an amazing sermon, He was so natural and you could feel the passion in his voice. The worship team set the mood for the service playing and singing from the heart. We loved the fact that children where very much part of the worship team. We will be visiting again

A great church with an active local mission. I like that it is multi generational with young families.

Amazing church to go to! Super friendly and welcoming community with a focus on helping/supporting the Burleigh community

Wonderful evening listening to such talented musicians playing Queen’s songs. We all loved it.

Beautiful little church, I attended a wedding here and the serenity was just beautiful. The scenery is breathtaking and so relaxing. An absolutely lovely place to get married.

Amazing performance, absolutely recommend it.

I don’t usually write reviews, but sometimes a service excels to the point I believe it deserves recognition. Thinking Hand Studios is one of these cases. At 77 years old, I have attended numerous art classes. I have never found these classes to offer the level of excellence Thinking Hand Studios does. The atmosphere, set up, individual attention from tutor, and especially learning of new skills excels any previous class I have taken. I’m an average artist, but want my work to end up top quality. I mostly make wildlife sculptures. Due to being a retired zookeeper, I want my sculptures to be realistic with a high level of detail. I would not be able to produce the quality of sculptures I want without the extra guidance and expertise of this art studio. Damian is an exceptional sculptor himself, but unlike many tutors, he is able to breakdown how to make an intricate, lifelike sculpture into manageable steps so that your everyday person can produce exceptional work. I leave each class having had an enjoyable and productive time.

Fantastic place to learn clay sculpture and Jewellery making. Individual personalised attention broken down into small steps by world class teachers that will help you to gain skill while making pieces that look professional and 👏 🙀 amazing. I went as a total beginner and felt supported in a relaxed friendly place. If you've ever wanted to sculpt or Jewellery make then this is the place. Just do it you won't regret it.

Best place to learn the basics of sculpting with friendly assistance when needed. I have really enjoyed learning about sculpture techniques and achieving something I thought would be a problem. I have made several pieces with great success. Have a go you will love it.

I recently attended a private wax carving workshop with Damian and it was fabulous. Damian is a professional and knowledgeable teacher with a wonderful passion for what he does. The tools and equipment we used was great and the communication before and after the workshop was fantastic. I learned so many new skills and had lots of fun. I can't wait to come back for more sessions and further my jewellery practice. Would definitely recommend workshops at Thinking Hand Studios.

I have weekly sessions at Thinking Hand Studios to learn jewellery making skills and have found Cal and Damian to be extremely knowledgable and helpful and inspiring. They allow me to pursue my own direction and help me learn what I want or I have a more structured class to learn the skills I need. I have now mastered loads of new skills and am well on my way to launching my own products and jewellery brand. A very friendly and pressure free place to learn. Highly recommended!"

Had a wonderful day today doing a two hour wax molding session. Have never done any of this before despite dreaming of it for years. Great teacher, lovely space. Very inspiring, can't wait to do more here.

Beyond thrilled! I am half way through my chosen course and am so happy I chose thinking hand studios, Damien and the team are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced and best of all HAPPY to share all of that wisdom with his students. I was a little worried given the financial investment as well as the time as I also travel from Brisbane down to the studio - but I have not regretted it for a second in fact I am already planning on what I can enrol in next.
