Burleigh Heads is the locals' favourite — a world-class right-hand point break peeling around the headland, the Burleigh Head National Park walking track with its ocean lookouts, and a beachfront of Norfolk pines, cafes and craft breweries. The James Street strip and the weekend markets give it a village feel the high-rises can't match. Come for the surf and the sunset from the hill; stay for the food.
