Many people talk about the province of Queensland, Australia, and only think of the city of Brisbane, but it turns out that just leave the city center, there will be a surprising little corner Redcliffe, really a must-visit holiday paradise. Redcliffe Jetty and the surrounding waterfront parks, which attract large crowds of locals to chill every weekend, give a slow-moving and relaxed feel. This is a real wash of the prejudice against Brisbane "very boring", carefully discovered, more fun attractions, and a little authentic taste!
Redcliffe attractions recommended inventory
📍 Redcliffe Jetty
Redcliffe’s most iconic landmark, over 130 years old, is great for a morning walk or evening sunset. The long canyon stretches into Moreton Bay. Both adults and children like to come fishing or walk by the sea. Lazy people can sit on a long bench and stare at the sea in a daze. It's healing!
📍 Redcliffe Parade
Walking down the Jetty is the Redcliffe Parade, a small seaside street with many cafés and independent shops, as well as Sunday Markets every Sunday, selling handmade jewelry, local produce and delicacies. For a brunch, check out The Rustic Olive Italian Restaurant (39 Redcliffe Parade, 8am - 9pm).
📍 Suttons Beach
Not far from Redcliffe Jetty is the beach Suttons Beach, white sand beach + palm trees = immediate holiday feel! There is an outdoor barbecue facility next to the beach, many family/friend groups come specifically to BBQ, remember to bring your swimsuit to play in the water.
📍 Bee Gees Way
Take a spin on the musical road, the Bee Gees Way was built in tribute to the Bee Gees band, with music, lighting and historical storyboards throughout the trail, a must for fans. The address is inside the Redcliffe Parade, where there will be a light show at night.
Tips & real feelings
Originally thought Brisbane and its surroundings were quite boring, the actual Redcliffe vibe is full of relaxation, and every attraction is a great place for families/friends/couples. Early access is recommended on weekends, Suttons Beach and Jetty seating fills up by afternoon. Wear a pair of comfortable sneakers or prepare beach slippers. Bring snacks, picnic mats the more chill the better!
