The Redcliffe Peninsula is easy with kids: calm water, a free lagoon, big playgrounds and short drives between them. Here are the best things to do in Redcliffe with kids.
Top things to do with kids
- Settlement Cove Lagoon: a free council lagoon with shallow areas and lifeguards during opening hours.
- Scarborough Beach Park: a fenced playground with Railway Place and Pirate Place areas, a jumping pillow, a basketball half court and a giant chess set, about 15 minutes’ walk from our villa.
- Redcliffe Jetty: walk out over the bay, watch people fishing, and look for the railway-track pattern in the deck.
- Bee Gees Way: a free laneway with statues, music and a light show after sunset.
- Moreton Bay Cycleway: 11 km of flat foreshore path with no road crossings, good for scooters and bikes.
- Redcliffe Museum: free local history exhibits at 75 Anzac Avenue, open Wednesday to Sunday.
