Redcliffe Beaches, Parks and Recreation Areas
Being a Peninsula, Redcliffe has a very long foreshore with lots of beaches and parkland. There are usually good facilities, including public toilets, covered seating, playground equipment, barbecue facilities and drinking water. Here's a summary of the most popular spots.

Suttons Beach - This is probably the most well known of Redcliffe's beaches. It is Redcliffe’s only patrolled swimming beach and is popular with young families looking for somewhere safe for the children to paddle. Suttons Beach often plays host to live music in the band rotunda, particularly during the summer months. You can also witness skydivers landing on the beach! Plenty of shady trees line the foreshore and there are good barbeque facilities. There is only one vehicular entry to Suttons Beach - the roundabout at the intersection of Margate Parade and MacDonnell Road. [Map Reference B1]

Margate Beach - The most notable feature of Margate Beach is the long boardwalk promenade, ideal for leisurely strolls along the foreshore without actually getting sand in your shoes! If you are feeling romantic, why not visit during the evening when there is a full moon shimmering across the bay? Covered seating areas are located at regular intervals along the boardwalk, each with a drinking fountain and electric barbeque. [Map Reference B2]

Redcliffe Beach and Settlement Cove Lagoon - Redcliffe Esplanade, Redcliffe. The children’s playground area is a water wonderland featuring wading pools and a swimming lagoon. [Map Reference B3]

Scarborough Beach Park - Railway Place is located in Scarborough Beach Park, an interactive playground specially designed for both able-bodied and disabled children. The climbing Cottonwood trees are also a huge hit with the kids! The park also features a basketball half-court court and a half-pipe skate ramp. [Map Reference B4]

Pelican Park and Bells Beach - Hornibrook Esplanade, Clontarf. The Redcliffe Visitor Information Centre is located in Pelican Park and visitors can watch pelican feeding at 10am daily. Pelican Park also has a basketball half-court and is a popular spot for kite flying and kite surfing. Jet skiing is permitted at Bells Beach. Dogs on leads are permitted on the beach. The annual Kitefest is held at Pelican Park. [Map Reference B5]

Humpybong Park - Corner Oxley and Anzac Avenues. The Humpybong Park area is home to several attractions including the Redcliffe Museum, the Humpybong Skate Park, Redcliffe Area Youth Space and the Redcliffe Memorial Swimming Pool. The Humpybong Skate Park features skate bowls, grinders, stunt ramps, a quarter pipe, wedge ramp, fun box, stairs and a flat skating area. [Map Reference B6]

Scarborough Boat Harbour - Plenty to see and do here. This is the jumping off point for boat trips across to Moreton Island and the home base for the Redcliffe fishing fleet. Drop anchor at the Moreton Bay Boat Club and check out some of the magnificent yachts moored there. And of course, don't leave without picking up some fresh seafood at Morgan's. [Map Reference B7]

Gayundah Coastal Arboretum - A funny name, but a pleasant sheltered spot for picnics, with seating, shelter and electric barbeques. The surrounds have been planted with native plants typical of those found in coastal areas. As the name suggests, the arboretum is close to the historic HMQS Gayundah wreck. [Map Reference B8]
