Beach holidays are a summer tradition in Australia for many families, including mine. We recently spent a few days at beautiful Burleigh Heads on the glorious Gold Coast. 

Burleigh Heads, is only an hour drive from Brisbane and is a great location to escape too.  It’s less busy than more popular tourist coastal areas and is the perfect spot to unwind and relax.  

Here is a list of my favourite things to do when on holidays at Burleigh Heads. 

1. Go for a morning (or anytime really) walk along The Esplanade.

  2. Climb to the top of North Burleigh Hill and admire the incredible views.
