Tallebudgera Creek

Tallebudgera is famous for its sparkling creek, framed by the Burleigh Heads National Park on one side and Palm Beach on the other. A visit to Tallebudgera is all about swimming, picnicking, watersports and a spot of fishing.

Generations of families return each summer to claim their favourite spot at the Tallebudgera Creek Tourist Park, which is perched on the edge of this estuary. For those looking for a little luxury, there are also two and three-bedroom waterfront villas or basic lodgings for those on a budget. For a true taste of this part of the coast, head to the Tallebudgera Surf Lifesaving Club for a meal or hit Custard Canteen for a coffee and tasty pastry treats.

A short stroll across the bridge will take you to the beautiful Burleigh Heads National Park, where you can explore scenic walking tracks through lush rainforests and visit the Jellurgal Aboriginal Cultural Centre to learn about the local indigenous history and culture of the Gold Coast. The Kombumerri people of the Yugambeh language group have cherished this special spot for centuries and learning their Dreamtime stories, which are woven into the landscape, will give you an even deeper appreciation for the magic of Tally Creek.
