Burleigh Heads is a self contained community tucked away between the beach and the Pacific Highway about half way between Surfer’s Paradise in the north and Coolangatta in the south of the Gold Coast. Burleigh boasts two small supermarkets, a bake shop, several restaurants, two pubs with one overlooking the beach, liquor store and a bowling green. What else could you ask for? In the morning you could go surfing, go walking along the beachside bike path which also has numerous exercise stops, or walk through the national park. If it like quiet, with conveniences and quick access to other parts of the Gold Coast and the hinterland, then Burleigh is the place for you. It is about 90 minutes south of Brisbane.
