Planning a romantic trip does not need to be expensive. Burleigh Heads offers many low-cost activities for pairs.


Burleigh Head National Park


Walk 1.2km or 15 minutes to reach the park entrance. The ocean track offers views of the Pacific Ocean. Entry to the park is free. Whales are often visible from the cliffs during winter.

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


Drive 20 minutes north to Biggera Waters for outlet shopping. Over 200 stores offer big discounts on major brands. Stop at Crafty’s for a cold drink and a meal. Free parking is available at the centre and our motel.
