See & Do

What’s Actually Walkable From Miami

200 metres from Burleigh Beach, with buses 300m away and the new Christine Avenue tram hub landing on our corner mid-2026. You genuinely don’t need a car to make the most of this stretch of coast.

Burleigh Beach

Two Minutes From Our Front Door

Down Sixth Avenue and onto golden sand in about 200 metres — reliable surf, the headland silhouette, and the North Burleigh Surf Club for a sunrise coffee or a sunset beer with an ocean view.

A roughly 30-minute loop through rainforest with ocean views the whole way — free, car-free, and known for the odd koala sighting in the trees.
