BURLEIGH BEACH
Not only is Burleigh Beach one of the most beautiful beaches in Queensland, but it’s a beach that’s alive with small meaningful experiences that make it a getaway destination like no other. It’s a mere stroll away from our location at Swell Resort, so when the beach calls you won’t have to break a sweat to take advantage of Burleigh’s unmatched stretch of sun, sand and sea.
Whether your vibe is sunbathing, swimming, surfing or strolling the shore with the sand between your toes, Burleigh Heads Beach sets the scene for both relaxation and excitement. The ocean waters are patrolled, making it ideal for families, with not one but two surf clubs for beachfront dining and refreshments: North Burleigh Surf Club and The Surf Club Burleigh.
The Southern half of Burleigh Beach is where the rocky Burleigh Headland is found – a focal point for surfers. The Burleigh Headland is also the location of Burleigh Head National Park, which gives Burleigh Beach its famously picturesque backdrop of lush green tropical trees. To the North, Burleigh Beach offers glistening views across Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise.
