Witness the Migrating Humpback Whales This Spring
What have you got planned this spring? If you’re looking for an experience to remember, head to Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast
Burleigh Heads is one of the best destinations to enjoy free whale watching on the Gold Coast. If you’re keen to see the whales this year – but don’t want to overspend the budget – Burleigh Heads offers many fantastic lookout points where you can witness the whales without spending a thing.
July to October marks peak whale watching season on the Gold Coast. The migrating humpback whales pass just off the coast on the famous “Humpback Highway” and seeing them first-hand is an experience that isn’t easily forgotten.
Of course, you can book one of the Gold Coast watching tours for guaranteed sightings, but seeing them from afar is just as good – especially when all you need is a trusty pair of binoculars.
Burleigh Hill/Burleigh Point
Burleigh Hill, right next to Burleigh Beach, is everyone’s favourite relaxation spot, which just so happens to offer sparkling ocean views right into the horizon. All you have to do is throw down a picnic blanket and have your binoculars at the ready. The good thing is you won’t get bored – simply sunbathe, enjoy the view and keep your eyes peeled for whales splashing in the distance.
Tumgun Lookout Burleigh Heads
Higher than Burleigh Hill/Burleigh Point and only a stone’s throw away. Find Tumgun Lookout inside Burleigh Head National Park – a vantage point that boasts incredible views far into the ocean. This observation deck is not hard to reach and the view you’ll be treated to is truly worth it, even without whale sightings.
Burleigh Head National Park Ocean Walk
Don’t like to stay in one place? Well, Burleigh Head National Park Ocean Walk is particularly popular for its ocean views, which you can take in while strolling along the park’s rocky edges. Once again, have your binoculars ready for the migrating humpbacks. The Ocean View Track is reachable from Burleigh Beach by just heading up through Burleigh Hill.
