Burleigh Beach

A northerly facing lookout that overlooks the Pacific Ocean.

A little spur off the 460-metre Burleigh Link track, which gives similar views of the cove, but you're on higher ground, giving you a better view of Gold Coast's CBD from afar.

Along the Rainforest circuit, the lookout is approximately around halfway giving you views of a mix of rainforest, ocean, mountains and urban city life.

A very unusual national park, since ideally, you'd expect most national parks to be outside of cities, which you'd need to travel some distances by car – but not Burleigh Heads National Park, which contains a rainforest, lookouts and several walking trails.

This wildlfe park is home many native animals, displayed in surroundings similar to their natural habitats aiming to raise awareness of protection, particularly with threatened, rare and endangered species.
