Just 40 minutes from Brisbane, the Redcliffe Peninsula is made for an easy weekend away, beaches, markets, marina walks and waterfront dinners, all within a few minutes of each other. Here’s a relaxed two- to three-day Redcliffe weekend getaway itinerary.
Friday evening, arrive and unwind
Settle into the villa, then head down to the Scarborough foreshore or Newport Marina for a sunset walk and dinner with bay views. An easy start to the weekend.
Saturday, beaches and the bay
Start with a morning swim at Scarborough Beach Park or Suttons Beach, then a coffee on the foreshore. Spend the afternoon on the Moreton Bay Cycleway, exploring the jetty, or relaxing back at the villa. Cook in with the chef’s kitchen, or book a waterfront dinner.
Sunday, markets morning
No Redcliffe weekend is complete without the Sunday Jetty Markets, fresh produce, local makers and great coffee along the waterfront. Grab breakfast, browse the stalls, and pick up something for the road.
How long do you need in Redcliffe?
A two-night weekend is perfect for a first visit, enough for the beaches, the markets and a marina dinner without rushing. Stay three or four nights and you can add day trips to Brisbane, the bay islands or the Sunshine Coast.
