Beach bumming in Burleigh Waters starts here
If you want to stay away from the beaches and yet be close enough to walk, then Burleigh Waters is the perfect neighbourhood. Burleigh Beach is a fantastic surfer’s paradise, drawing many from Gold Coast to come and frolick in its safe, protected waters as well as watch its aquatic animals play nearby. However, the beach can get crowded, so Burleigh Waters nearer James St offers a respite from the buzz of beach life. Travelling to Gold Coast today? Then drive or hitch an Uber to check out the beach bum experience in Burleigh Beach. You won’t regret it.
If you’re looking to extend the getaway, book an Airbnb vacation rental in Burleigh Heads, located an eight-minute drive away from Burleigh Waters proper. The exciting things to do there will certainly make the extended stay in this part of Gold Coast more memorable.
