Scarborough Suburb Profile
A bayside beauty with a humble edge, Scarborough is a quiet achiever on Redcliffe’s Peninsula. Living in Scarborough offers an undeniable ease that can be felt throughout its waterfront village, foreshore parks, and neighbourly streets. Many seafaring adventures launch from Scarborough Boat Harbour, be it a leisurely cruise, a fishing charter, or ferry services that take you across to Moreton Island. The seafood industry has long been a dominant fixture here. Seafood eateries, restaurants, and takeaway joints along Landsborough Avenue and around Scarborough Marina are a testament to that, with many travelling to Scarborough for the day to get a taste of the finger-licking goodness.
Scarborough is also a haven for growing families – foreshore parks with fenced-in playgrounds, sports playing fields, and a beach once named ‘Australia’s Friendliest Beach’. Then there is the line-up of schools on the Redcliffe Peninsula that caters to local demand.
The village along Landsborough Avenue is intimate, with many establishments taking advantage of alfresco seating, but if you’re after greater variety, you only need to wander down to neighbouring Redcliffe. Away from the harbour, family homes line levelled streets, some weatherboard, others rendered brick, but most boast yards that are fit for leisurely weekend barbeques. And although weekenders love to pop in for a visit, for the lucky few, living in Scarborough is a place to call home.
Area Features
Scarborough Beach
The calm bayside beach is ideal for swimming, kayaking and SUP boarding. It’s also a popular spot for families making the most of the foreshore park’s picnic facilities and pirate playground. Walkers and cyclists make the most of the pathway, and the south end of the beach is an outdoor cinema.
Village Life
Scarborough Village has a wonderful selection of cafes, restaurants and shopfronts along Landsborough Avenue and opposite the beach.
Scarborough Boat Harbour
Where the ferry to Moreton Island departs, this harbour area is home to parks, waterfront cafes, and restaurants.
Scarborough is as much a haven for families as it is for young professionals and retirees, with its safe streets and spacious homes, this seaside beauty has broad appeal. Year-round, the strong, local community can be seen out along the foreshore parks, on their boats or making the most of the alfresco-style cafes, and when the holidays are in full swing, the population swells with holidaymakers eager to enjoy the coastal lifestyle.
