At this time the [[Tweed Volcano]] was active. Molten basalt lava from the volcano flowed all the way down the valleys and eroded them all. The valleys were covered in hardened sedimentary rocks before reaching what is now the Burleigh headland. Along Tallebudgera Creek there are rocky platforms and sandy beaches.  On the seaside part of the park are black boulders at the base of a cliff.<ref name="naq"/> Upstream tidal Tallebudgera Creek has a mangrove environment.<ref>{{cite web|title=Natural Area Management Plans|url=http://www.gcparks.com.au/parks.aspx?page=97|publisher=Gold Coast Parks|access-date=5 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131113032118/http://www.gcparks.com.au/parks.aspx?page=97|archive-date=13 November 2013|url-status=dead}}</ref>
