- Bev M1 contributionGreat atmosphere. Friendly staff and excellent choice beer. The new Burleigh Choc beer has everything a chocolate and beer lover could ask for.

- Dianne F307 contributionsThis park is always being maintained, so it's usually in very good condition, although if they plant a tougher grass there, the council wouldn't have to keep replacing it. Ideal spot for picnics and BBQ's or just for hanging out.Written 24 October 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RyanGold Coast, Australia405 contributionsCapricorns Facebook ad popped up on my feed randomly and I'm a rum fan, so I checked out their site, and decided to book the $99 tour for 2 for a saturday arvo.
This included any cocktail of your choice each, a guided tour of the distillery which goes for around 15-20 minutes, then finally a sample of their 10 or so different bottled award winning rums and gins with a cheeseboard.
They have a bar, indoor and outdoor seating, music, and on Sundays a food truck also.
Well worth checking out with friendly staff and a chilled vibe!Written 19 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Healthily through foodBurleigh Heads, Australia26 contributionsWe were there earlier this week-Great spot to sit down and relax-my kids had a good time splashing in the water(which was nice a shallow and did not dip down) making it perfect for little kid. Coming up out of the sun under the trees for a home packed lunch was a great treat too-didn't appear to any prickles as the kids were running around barefoot while playing soccer. Lots of people kayaking/paddle boarding around this area, so probably a good spot for that too! There is also a ramp down the end if you have a boat.Written 21 November 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CodyMavGold Coast, Australia27,708 contributionsAccess Echo Beach by swimming or paddling from the southern side of Tallebudgera Creek, or along Ocean View Track from the small carpark for Georges Paragonrestaurant, this less-accessible beach is a delightful respite.
You can also take the longer way from Burleigh Heads if the ocean view track is open (track is gated and closed during bad weather)
In keeping with the nearby Jerrurgal Aboriginal Cultural Centre, there is a lovely indigenous piece on the timbers behind the beach also.Written 4 October 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
