Everything about Burleigh Heads Queensland totally explained
Burleigh Heads is a suburb of the
Gold Coast in
Queensland,
Australia. Burleigh Heads is bounded by the
Pacific Ocean to the east,
Miami to the north,
Burleigh Waters,
West Burleigh to the west and
Tallebudgera to the south. The area comprises two distinct sub areas. The northernmost portion consists of a coastal strip from Brakes Crescent to the
Gold Coast Highway and the southern section adjoins the business district of Burleigh Heads clustered around the
headland of that name and the
national park. The
Gold Coast Oceanway provides pedestrians and cyclist access along the beaches of Burleigh.
History
The northern section appears to have been subdivided by the mid
1950s but was the site of extensive
sand mining in the following decades. The broad beachfront park is a legacy of that activity.
Burleigh township itself is much older and was the site of early development including
restaurants and guest houses to support the increasing interest in
bathing that took place in the last years of the
19th Century and the first of the 20th century. It has been the centre of beach activities for many years.
Burleigh Beach
The north-east facing beach is well protected by the point to the south and offers one of the best swimming body boarding and surfing beaches on the Gold Coast. It is particularly popular with families. A mature stand of
Norfolk Island Pines — reputably some of the earliest planted at the coast — form an attractive backdrop and are home to large numbers of native birds.
