Burleigh Heads, Coastal locality in Gold Coast City, Australia.
The coastal area combines Burleigh Head cape, reaching 80 meters in height, with a narrow beachfront section and an inland extension along Tallebudgera Creek.
Following James Warner's naming of the headland in 1840, the town of Burleigh underwent its first official survey by surveyor G.L. Pratten in 1871.
The Kombumerri people, traditional inhabitants of the region, named the area Jellurgal, maintaining strong connections through the Aboriginal Cultural Centre near Tallebudgera Creek.
James Street forms the central hub with numerous cafes, restaurants, and retail stores, while the Gold Coast Highway provides direct access to neighboring coastal areas.
Sunday evenings at Justin Park transform into community gatherings where musicians and fire performers create spontaneous entertainment sessions.
