Burrum Heads

Burrum Heads is a small seaside village in Queensland's Fraser Coast region, situated at the mouth of the Burrum River roughly 30 minutes north of Hervey Bay.

It serves as a practical access point to both river and ocean waters, making it a popular base for boating, fishing, crabbing, and kayaking.

The Fraser Regional Council maintains three boat ramps providing access to the Burrum River: one at the western end of Burrum Street with a floating jetty and breakwater, another at the northern end of Ross Street with a pontoon, and a third at the northern end of Burrum Heads Road.

Kayakers can launch directly onto the river and paddle with the outgoing tide, with approximately two hours of paddling opening up the broader river system.
