Margate, Redcliffe boasts the longest mainland stretches of sand beach together with a trendy two kilometre redeveloped timber boardwalk. The location of the boardwalk next to the beach makes it ideal for walkers, cyclists and little people on scooters.
To the northern end of the beach sits the quaint Scotts Point swimming pavilion built in 1937 which gives an insight into the popular beach life of a bygone era.
Adding to the pleasant ambience are the many ancient Norfolk Pines that line the Esplanade along Margate, Redcliffe. These serve to remind us of the first settlers on the Redcliffe Peninsula who had the forethought to plant seedlings more than 150 years ago. The shade provided by the canopy of the huge branches provides prevention from sunburn in the summer months.
