The track around the headland takes maybe forty minutes, but most people stretch it to twice that. Surfers carve up the break below, lizards sun themselves on the rocks beside you, and the path cuts between open ocean cliff edges and pockets of dense coastal rainforest. It's a genuine contrast in a short distance. The walk is well-maintained and not particularly demanding, which means you'll share it with everyone from trail runners to grandparents. Cultural markers along the route acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land. When you come around to the Burleigh side, you can push up to the summit or head straight for a cold beer at one of the nearby spots. The signs do warn about falling rocks along sections of the trail, worth noting if you're inclined to linger beneath the cliff faces.

One of the best coastal walks on the Gold Coast. Take a swim in the creek- very safe. When you get around to the Burleigh side you can head up to the summit or go for a beer — suggest the latter. Good spot to watch the surfing. The signage does suggest you don’t stop en route — keep moving — due to the possibility of falling rocks. A bit concerning.

Burleigh Heads National Park is absolutely beautiful. The walking tracks are well maintained, and the views from the headland are stunning — ocean, cliffs, and coastline all in one place. It’s a perfect spot for a peaceful walk, photos, or just relaxing in nature. Great for both locals and visitors, and an amazing place to watch the waves and surfers. Highly recommend if you’re on the Gold Coast.

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.

Best of All Lookout
Springbrook
A 350-metre walk through rare Gondwanan rainforest opens onto a panoramic view that stretches, on a clear day, almost to Byron Bay. No facilities, no fuss. Bring a layer, arrive early, and sort out your bathroom stop on the drive up.
David Fleay Wildlife Park
Burleigh Heads
Named after the naturalist who first bred platypus in captivity, this compact Burleigh Heads wildlife park punches above its size. Naturalistic habitats, knowledgeable staff who actually stop to talk, and a bird show worth timing your visit around.
