Tallebudgera Creek

Tallebudgera is known for its sparkling creek which is framed by the Burleigh Heads National Park on one side and Tallebudgera Beach on the other. The lifestyle is all about camping, swimming, picnicking, kayaking and fishing.

Tallebudgera Creek is next to parkland that contains toilets, tables, shade structures and beach showers. There is also a dedicated Oceanway, however, there is no bike parking.

Swimming

Make sure you swim in the patrolled area between the red and yellow flags. Tallebudgera Creek has one patrol location. At times, a patrol may be closed due to dangerous swimming conditions, unsafe beach conditions or beach maintenance works.
