Burleigh Heads Accommodation

The northern section of Burleigh 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 Heads is a suburb on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. Burleigh Heads is world renowned for its surf break, and is an ideal alternative from the more tourist ridden towns of the Gold Coast. In the epicentre of Burleigh Heads, you will find James Street. A village of sorts consisting of cafes, delis, hairdressers, retailers, chemists, restaurants and charity stores. Burleigh Heads boundary extends as far north as Miami Headland, Miami, and as far south as Tallebudgera Creek, Palm Beach. To the west, is the township of West Burleigh, with its shopping centre, and thriving industrial area, and Burleigh Waters, a quiet suburbia, beautified by a manmade lake and many council parks and gardens. The headland of Burleigh, locally known as "The Point", is a favorite for weekend barbecues, cricket, and if the surf is up, fantastic surf.
