The Redcliffe Jetty is one of the peninsula’s best-loved spots, reaching out into Moreton Bay for fishing, walking, photography and unforgettable sunsets. It is an easy outing from our Scarborough villa and suits families, couples and dog walkers alike.
What makes the Redcliffe Jetty worth visiting?
The jetty stretches out from Redcliffe Parade into the calm waters of Moreton Bay, giving you sweeping views back over the foreshore and out towards the islands. It is a relaxed, open spot where the sea breeze and the wide bay make even a short visit feel like a proper getaway.
Cafes, parklands and the foreshore walking paths sit close by, so it is easy to make a morning or an evening of it without much planning.
Can you go fishing off the jetty?
Yes, the Redcliffe Jetty is a popular and accessible fishing spot, and you will often see locals dropping a line from the deck. It is a friendly place to try your luck, whether you are an experienced angler or just having a go with the kids.
- Bring your own rod, bait and tackle
- Check current Queensland recreational fishing rules and size limits before you cast
- Arrive early or stay for the evening bite for the best chance
When are the Redcliffe Jetty Markets on?
The Redcliffe Jetty Markets run alongside the foreshore each Sunday, bringing together fresh produce, food stalls, handmade goods and live atmosphere. They are a relaxed, family-friendly way to spend a Sunday morning by the bay.
Wander the stalls, grab a coffee or a bite, then stroll out onto the jetty to take in the view. It is one of the easiest and most enjoyable outings on the peninsula.
What else is nearby for an easy walk?
The jetty sits at the heart of a walkable stretch of foreshore. You can easily link a visit with a few other favourites close by.
- Settlement Cove Lagoon: a calm swimming lagoon, ideal for families
- Bee Gees Way: a short laneway celebrating the famous brothers who grew up locally
- Redcliffe Parade: a flat, pram-friendly path lined with cafes and bay views
The level paths make this a comfortable walk for all ages and abilities.
Is the jetty a good place for sunset?
Absolutely. Looking west across Moreton Bay, the jetty is one of the finest sunset spots on the peninsula. On a clear evening the sky lights up over the water, and the long deck makes a beautiful place to watch the colours change.
Bring a jacket for the breeze, take your camera, and settle in for a quiet, memorable end to the day.
