Margate Beach

On Margate Parade, another pristine beach awaits on the Redcliffe Peninsula. With golden sand and calm, sheltered waters, it's a favourite spot for a relaxed swim.

Margate also boasts the longest stretch of mainland sand in the area, complemented by a two-kilometre timber boardwalk running alongside the shoreline. Perfect for walkers, cyclists and little ones on scooters, it's an easy way to take in the coastal scenery.

At the northern end, you'll find the charming Scotts Point swimming pavilion. Built in 1937, it offers a glimpse into beachside life of a bygone era. Lining the esplanade, towering Norfolk Pines add to the atmosphere, their history stretching back more than 150 years to the early settlers of the Redcliffe Peninsula. Their expansive canopy provides welcome shade during the warmer months.

Margate Beach is well-equipped with quality BBQ facilities, making it an ideal spot for a laid-back day by the water. Pack a picnic, gather friends or family, and settle in to enjoy the fresh sea air and sweeping views across Moreton Bay to Moreton Island.
