Burleigh Heads — The Real Gold Coast

Burleigh is where locals come for laid-back beach days, good coffee, and easy access to the rest of the Coast. Sunrise swims, Sunday markets, and sunset at the surf club are all within reach — quieter than Surfers, great food on James Street, and a fraction of resort prices.

We're 200m from Burleigh Beach — walk straight down Sixth Avenue to the sand. Paddock Bakery is 150m away, open from 6am. Aldi is directly across the road. G:link and bus 765 stop at the Christine Avenue stop on our corner.
