The Wonders Of Burleigh Heads.
Gold Coast should be on your list if you are planning to travel down under during summer time. Summer time is the best when it comes to catching some killer waves down at Surfer's Paradise but there is more to Gold Coast that meets the eye.
Burleigh Heads sits in between Surfers Paradise to the north and Coolangatta to the south. I visited Burleigh in the midst of summer and the weather was absolutely perfect. Here is a list of "must-do" at Burleigh:
1: The Beach
In my opinion, Burleigh Heads is one of the nicest beach that I had visited in the past month of traveling. The north-east facing beach offers one of the best swimming, body boarding and surfing beaches on the Gold Coast. You can expect clear waters, clean sand and seashells on the beach itself with boulders along the coast line.
As the beach is located on the further end of Gold Coast, you are able to see the skyline of the city from afar which is a bonus if you are into landscape shots.
Take a moment and enjoy the scenic view. On the right corner of the beach is the national park and on the left is the skyline of the city.
2. The Burleigh Heads National Park.
The national park is home to towering fragrant pine trees. The National Park wraps around the headline, offering views of the ocean on the left and a number of walking trails and wildlife to experience. Its clear trail path makes it easy for joggers and tourist to navigate.
A perfect view from above at Mt Tumgun Lookout. In winter and spring, humpback whales are often seen at the lookout.
At Burleigh, ancient volcanic columns meets the sea. The park features rainforest, eucalyptus forest, pandanus groves, tussock grassland, coastal heath and mangroves - perfect for those ready to be more involved with nature.
