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.
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.

The waters in the creek are calm, however, surfers need only walk to nearby Tallebudgera Beach for a few waves. Surfers should always assess conditions. If in doubt, don't paddle out. For more information, visit our Surfing page.
