Lifestyle In Tallebudgera
From its source in the magnificent Springbrook National Park, Tallebudgera Creek winds its way down to the mouth at the Pacific Ocean on the south side of the Burleigh Headland.
Tallebudgera or ‘Tally’ (creek, valley, surf) as the locals call it – offers a superb lifestyle – rural and rustic in the valley to an urban landscape closer to the coast. Whatever your choice, Tallebudgera is one of the most sought after areas on the Gold Coast. Framed by the famous Burleigh headland on its immediate north side, to Palm Beach and Currumbin on its south side, Tallebudgera is all about lifestyle and its unique environs.
The Gold Coast offers a lifestyle like no other region, but there are some hidden gems that encompass everything in one small slice of the Gold Coast that make Tallebudgera very special indeed. At the coastal end, it’s all about safe swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, and any other water sport you can think of, while the rural Tally Valley, all the way up to the Springbrook National Park, offers some of the most idyllic and breathtaking landscapes to feast your senses on as you picnic or throw a line in the pristine creek waters.
If you prefer to stay on land, take a stroll over the bridge that crosses over the creek at the coast and explore the Burleigh Heads National Park. Here you can immerse yourself in lush rainforests and discover the Jellurgal Aboriginal Cultural Centre. Keep an eye out for resident koalas along the way.
Tallebudgera Creek Beach is undoubtedly one of the safest swimming beaches for young children – the waters here are calm, turquoise, and tropical which allows parents to safely swim with their young children without having to brace for the next wave to hit them. For the surfers though, the more exposed beach break has fairly consistent surf, especially in the winter months.
And for golfers, the picturesque Tallebudgera 18-hole golf course is a must visit.
