Located on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, Burleigh Heads is famous for its golden sandy beach.

Prior to European settlement, the Kombumerri Indigenous people had named the area 'Jellurgal'. Development of the area took off in the 19th century as a result of an increased interest in bathing, camping and other beach activities.

Burleigh Heads is home to The David Fleay Wildlife Park, Jebribillum Bora Park and Burleigh Head National Park, plus a number of surfing events.
