Tucked onto the Redcliffe Peninsula in the Moreton Bay Region, Woody Point QLD 4019 is one of Brisbane’s most underrated waterfront pockets.

Whether you’re exploring what to do for an afternoon, checking out the local real estate market, or just trying to find the tide times before a fish, here’s everything you need to know about Woody Point.

Landmarks & Attractions in Woody Point

Woody Point Jetty

The  Jetty is the suburb’s signature landmark — a long timber pier off Oxley Avenue that’s been a local fixture for over a century. It’s the go-to spot for fishing, sunset walks, and simply taking in uninterrupted views across Moreton Bay. If you only do one thing in Woody Point, this is it.

HMQS Gayundah Shipwreck

Just off Gayundah Esplanade sit the rusted remains of the HMQS Gayundah, a 19th-century Queensland Government gunboat that was deliberately grounded here to act as a breakwater. It’s one of the more unusual and photographed sights on the peninsula, and a genuine piece of maritime history.

Gayundah Coastal Arboretum

Right alongside the wreck site, the Gayundah Coastal Arboretum is a quiet stretch of foreshore green space planted with regional flora. It’s a great spot for a slower walk with water views without the crowds of the main jetty precinct.

The Belvedere Hotel

A waterfront pub dating back to the early 1900s, the Belvedere is as much a community landmark as it is a place to grab a drink. Bay views, a long local history, and a genuine gathering-spot feel make it an institution.

Woody Point Memorial Hall

Built in 1922 and heritage-listed, the Memorial Hall sits directly across from Crockatt Park and remains a hub for local community events.

Crockatt Park

A large foreshore park with open lawns, picnic areas, and playgrounds right on the water — a popular spot for families and anyone after a picnic with a view.

Beach, Cafes & Everyday Life

Woody Point’s beach and foreshore strip along Oxley Avenue is lined with cafes, a handful of well-loved pubs, and easy access to the water — making it a genuinely liveable stretch, not just a tourist strip. Locals rate it for:

• The Beach – a calm, family-friendly stretch of foreshore, popular for a swim or a walk at any tide.
• Cafes along the esplanade – a strong local cafe scene with water views, ideal for a weekend coffee.
• Jetty fishing – a reliable local fishing spot, particularly around the change of tide.
• The pub scene – anchored by the Belvedere, with a genuine local, unpretentious feel.

Local Amenities

Day-to-day, Woody Point is well set up for residents:

• Pharmacy and doctors – local medical centres and a pharmacy servicing the immediate area, so residents aren’t reliant on travelling into Redcliffe or Kippa-Ring for the basics.
• Boat ramp and yacht club – for residents with boats, this suburb has direct water access along with a long-established local yacht club.
• Caravan park – for visitors wanting to stay a little longer without committing to a hotel.
• Tide times – a regular check for locals given how central the water is to life here, particularly around the jetty and boat ramp.

Woody Point Real Estate 

The suburb sits firmly in the premium end of the Redcliffe Peninsula market. It’s a tightly held, waterfront-adjacent suburb, and that scarcity shows up in both pricing and how quickly well-presented homes move — houses here have consistently traded at a premium to the broader Moreton Bay Region, reflecting genuine demand for the lifestyle and water proximity rather than speculative growth.

Woody Point houses for sale, Woody Point units for sale, or Woody Point rentals, the market here rewards local knowledge — buyers are paying for walkability to the jetty, the esplanade, and the beach, and that premium varies significantly street by street. It’s exactly the kind of suburb where a locally embedded agent — someone who knows which streets carry the real water-view premium and which don’t — makes a measurable difference to a result, whether you’re buying, selling, or just trying to understand what your property is really worth in this market.
