Your guide to Burrum Heads
All About Burrum Heads
Burrum Heads is a seaside township located on Queensland's Fraser Coast. The town of 2,000 residents boasts a lush coastline, crystalline waters, and ample opportunities for water-based exploration. Traditionally a fishing village, the town has an active crabbing industry due to its proximity to Beelbi Creek. You can also fish in the ocean, either on shore or via a chartered boat. Spanish mackerel, whiting, and barramundi are just a few of the species you can expect to encounter when out on the waves — and on local menus.
The town features an esplanade for oceanside strolls plus campgrounds and supply stores. There’s also a lively pub and bowling alley for nighttime amusement.
Nearby Lake Lenthall provides access to water sports such as canoeing, rafting, and kayaking. Also close by is Hervey Bay, a small city that has a greater number of restaurants and bars to choose from, but is mainly known for its whale watching.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Burrum Heads
The town has a balmy climate year-round, so there’s no bad time to consider accommodation in Burrum Heads. Even the winter months are fairly temperate, thanks to Burrum Heads’ location on Australia’s eastern coast.
Some notable annual events in the area include the Fraser Coast Show, held in late May. This event showcases the region’s agriculture, arts, crafts, and contests such as the Giant Pumpkin Competition. The Waste to Art Competition Exhibition is held annually between the months of November and January, and showcases a wide variety of arts and crafts created from recycled and discarded materials.
Top things to do in Burrum Heads
Fishing
Burrum Heads is arguably best known for its history as a fishing village, and the variety of fish present in its waters makes it clear why. Spanish mackerel, barramundi, mangrove jack, bream, and more join mud crabs and oysters in the waters of Burrum Heads. With the proper licences, you can catch and cook these culinary delights yourself. Fishing charters are available for hire from several operators in the area.
Burrum Coast National Park
Just across the river from Burrum Heads you’ll find Burrum Coast National Park. This wild area offers ample camping areas, emerald greenery, cerulean ocean views, and pristine, secluded beaches. Set up a hammock for a quick nap before cooking your own catch of the day over a campfire.
Water sports
Situated between the Isis River and the coast, Burrum Heads offers kayaking, canoeing, and a variety of other water sports. Rent a boat from one of the local operators and spend a leisurely afternoon exploring the river or shoreline. Stand-up paddleboarding, known colloquially as SUP, is a local favourite.
