Why it's worth checking out
Burleigh Hill sits at Burleigh Heads, on the headland above one of the Gold Coast's most beloved beaches. A much-loved park and lookout, it's a genuine local treasure — a grassy headland with stunning views back along the coastline, gorgeous ocean outlooks, room to relax and one of the best vantage points on the coast, especially famous for its sunsets and seasonal whale watching.
The appeal is that combination of a beautiful grassy headland and absolutely spectacular views: the outlook over Burleigh Beach and the coastline is one of the Gold Coast's finest, making it a wonderful spot for a picnic, a relax, a sunset or watching for whales in season. It's a beloved spot that captures the natural beauty of Burleigh, and it sits beside the lovely Burleigh Head National Park.
With a 4.8 rating from more than 1,500 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. The park is free and open, but facilities vary and it gets busy at sunset and over summer, so it's worth taking sun protection and being mindful near the cliffs and natural areas — though for a picnic, a relax or those spectacular views, you can generally just head up to Burleigh Hill.
