Redcliffe Jetty is one of the Moreton Bay Region's most identifiable landmarks, and it makes for a great day out with something for all ages and abilities.
There are markets held every Sunday, swimming at Redcliffe Beach, picnic spots, fishing, whale watching, accessible parking, and safe crossings to shopping and dining.
Need more help? There is a Visitor Information Centre located along Redcliffe Parade. Speak to the friendly, uniformed staff (dressed in white, with a yellow ‘i’ for information) for assistance.
Heading further north from Redcliffe Jetty you will find Captain Cook Park, Queens Beach South, and Queens Beach North.
Brisbane Whale Watching
Redcliffe Jetty is home to Moreton Bay Region's very own whale watching vessel, named ‘Eye Spy’. You will often see this magnificent cruiser docked at the far end of the Jetty. During whale-watching season (from June until October) ‘Eye Spy’ sets out on the Moreton Bay waters with skipper Kerry Lopez and the team from Brisbane Whale Watching.
Markets and more
The popular Redcliffe Jetty Markets are held every Sunday from 8.00am until midday. During this period, Redcliffe Parade is closed to vehicles and the street transforms into a colourful marketplace with fresh produce, handmade goodies, exotic imports, delicious food stalls and one-of-a-kind gifts. Accessible parking is available, but may be limited during this time. Those using wheelchairs and walkers are able to navigate the stalls and join in on the fun.
Nearby venues/Food & drink:
There are plenty of dining options in the main hub of Redcliffe. Get a cold treat at The Big Kid Ice-Creamery; your caffeine fix at Zarraffa’s or The Coffee Club; or something more substantial at The Rustic Olive Italian Kitchen, Café Diversity, Hog’s Breath, or Flock Eatery.
