Travel to Burleigh Heads National Park with our Gold Coast car rental service.
Located in the centre of the action-packed Gold Coast, the Burleigh Heads National Park provides a tranquil haven for both wildlife and walkers. Remnants of past volcanic activity, littoral rainforest and reminders of the Aboriginal culture are protected in the park.
When you walk down the park trails, you will also observe fringing mangroves, windswept tussocks or an open forest. You can also stroll to the top of Big Burleigh and be rewarded with a splendid bird’s eye view of the northern seascape.
One of the popular walking trails is the Oceanview walk, which is a 1.2km track running around the rocky headland from Tallebudgera Creek to the southern edge of the Burleigh Heads township. You can gaze at the tumbled masses of six-sided basalt columns and even relax by the creek at Echo Beach.
The mangroves of the Burleigh Heads National Park showcase a haven of wildlife right in the middle of the bustling city. On the headland, it is not uncommon to stumble across brush turkeys, brahminy kites, sea eagles and some fruit-eating birds. You might even see a few koalas that remain in the area!
Discover the park’s lush vegetation and scenery along the walking tracks. It is suggested that you tackle the tracks in a clockwise direction. Remember to wear a hat and apply sunscreen as it can get quite hot. Also make sure your stay on the track and you don’t want to harm any of the fragile vegetation.
To reach the Burleigh Head National Park from Surfers Paradise, simply drive south along the Gold Coast Highway to Burleigh Heads. The drive is quite easy and with the help of our Gold Coast car rental service, you will be there in a snap.
So make sure you visit this famous national park; it is an experience you won’t be able to forget. Where else can you find a track that winds through mangroves, traces a creek to its mouth, and encompasses a climb through a rainforest that overlooks the ocean?
