Redcliffe itself serves as the central hub of the broader area with Redcliffe Parade providing a key thoroughfare to the nearby towns.
Café culture, fresh food and alfresco dining are integral to the Redcliffe Peninsula lifestyle. Scarborough boasts one of Brisbane’s best seafood markets, and Woody Point is home to the local institution The Belvedere Hotel. When food isn’t the focus, other outdoor amenities such as the waterside walking tracks and the man-made Settlement Cove Lagoon swimming pool buzz with activity.
Community culture is at its peak at the regular Redcliffe Jetty Markets. Operating every Sunday on Redcliffe Parade, this beloved event provides the community and visitors with an abundance of fresh produce, gourmet treats, top coffee and locally made arts and crafts.
There’s a strong sense of history. The local community prides itself on being the location of the first European settlement in Queensland, prior to the settlers relocating to a more central location on the Brisbane River. Redcliffe celebrates its heritage every September with the annual Redcliffe Festival, featuring vibrant fiestas, live entertainment, local cuisine and beach side parties.
Historically, the area was only accessible via a paddle steamer. Nowadays the Houghton Highway links the area to the inner northern suburbs and Brisbane CBD. Commuters also have access to bus and train services to the surrounding areas.
