The northern beach is the move. Tucked into the base of Burleigh Headland, this small sheltered bay has been a Gold Coast favourite for decades, and the locals who know it have been coming back for twenty, thirty, sixty years. No current in the bay proper, plenty of tree shade along the back, and enough fish around the rocks to make a snorkel worthwhile. Tide matters here: aim for the top of the tide or the last hour of the run in for the best swimming. Parking on the main road fills fast, so park in the side streets and walk. Once you're done in the water, the headland loop to Burleigh is a short walk with open ocean views that make the whole morning feel earned.

What People Say
Krisa month ago
It's a very nice beach. The fact that it is located where Tallebudgera Creek meets the ocean gives it a different character compared to typical ocean beaches. When swimming in some areas, you need to be a bit careful because of the fairly strong current from the creek.

Been a favourite place for 60 years. You can find some shade so you dont fry, water is amazing. Choose time when tides are OK to swim and beware of strong currents at times.
Sam Bee4 months ago
Beautiful spot but tough to get a carpark but worth the walk from the side streets! Can be quite full like sardines at high tide but the turnover of people is busy so if there isn’t a spot at first, one will pop up! Lots of little fish so great for snorkelling too around the rocks. Sheltered by the trees if you like the shade but also plenty of sand for tanning. There is no current in the small bay too so feels super safe.

Tallebudgera Creek Park
Palm Beach
Tallebudgera Creek's sheltered, glassy water makes it the go-to for paddleboarding, sandcastles, and unhurried afternoon swims. Barbecues, a playground, and a café are all on hand. Come early, parking fills fast and the café queue follows shortly after.
Coplick Family Sports Park
Tallebudgera
Flat, well-kept soccer and baseball fields in Tallebudgera, with parking that actually copes on tournament days. The small lake catches a nice sunset from the sidelines. Bring a change of shoes after rain — the grass holds water and sticks to everything.
