Sunset at Burleigh Hill

Walk 1.1km or 14 minutes to this popular grassy spot. Many locals favour this hill for sunset views. Bring a picnic rug and food from the nearby supermarket. This is a top way to organise a romantic evening. Watch the surfers and the skyline as the sun sets.

Harbour Town Lunch
