Overview

Burleigh Heads is a coastal Gold Coast suburb celebrated for its iconic beach and surf break, drawing locals and visitors alike. The vibrant James Street precinct lines the shoreline with cafés, delis, hairdressers, retailers and restaurants, while the Koala Park neighbourhood offers leafy homes beside Tallebudgera Creek and a surrounds of national‑park bushland. West Burleigh, the suburb’s inland hub, provides a modest shopping strip and a small industrial area, and nearby attractions such as David Fleay Wildlife Park, Jebribillum Bora Park and Burleigh Head National Park enrich the outdoor lifestyle. In the 2021 Census the suburb recorded a population of 10,572.

Transport is anchored by the Gold Coast Highway, with West Burleigh Road linking directly to the Pacific Motorway and Varsity Lakes railway station. Translink buses connect the centre to the airport, Tweed Heads, Robina and Broadbeach, and a G:link tram extension to Burleigh Beach is under construction, slated for completion in late 2025. Amenities include a council‑run library and hall on Park Avenue, several churches, and Burleigh Heads State School, while the housing mix ranges from beachfront apartments to bush‑fringed family homes and a small industrial precinct.
