Located at the mouth of the Burnett River and home to the Port of Bundaberg, Burnett Heads is known for its freshly caught local seafood, first class marina and two historic lighthouses which feature in an annual celebration of the lifestyle and culture of the region.
Sail back in time and visit the old Burnett Heads Lighthouse which dates back to 1873 and is recognised by the National Trust as an important part of Australia’s maritime history.
The mighty Burnett River, which measures some 435km long, flows out to sea at Burnett Heads which is also home to an historic lighthouse. Taken out of service in 1972, the lighthouse was moved to its present site next to Burnett Heads Hall and is a poignant reminder of maritime history in the region, as well as a great subject for photographs. You’ll also find a café and clothing shop, a few good pubs and some small stores to choose from in Burnett heads which is home to hotel/motels and self-contained accommodation.

Upstream sits the Port of Bundaberg which plays a vital role in the region’s economy as it is where the sugar produced here is carted before it is shipped around the world. While no tours are allowed of the huge sugar terminal, it makes a fascinating sight and a great photo opportunity.
The Bundaberg Port Marina offers first-class marine facilities for visitors who arrive by water and is the main port entry for yachts entering Australia. Enjoy local seafood fresh off the boat here. Looking for surf and a selfie? Head to family-friendly Oaks Beach.
In recognition of its lighthouses, and in celebration of the lifestyle and culture of the region, Burnett Heads stages the annual Lighthouse Festival on the last Saturday in October.
