Located at the southern gateway to the Redcliffe Peninsula, just a short 33-minute drive from Brisbane CBD, Clontarf offers a laid-back, family-friendly lifestyle that perfectly blends seaside charm with everyday convenience. Nestled beside the sparkling waters of Moreton Bay and easily accessed via the Houghton Highway from Brighton, Clontarf is the ideal place to unwind, explore, and connect with nature.
Known for its easy-breezy vibe, Clontarf is a popular spot for families, retirees, and anyone in search of a slower pace of life within reach of the city. The suburb is packed with parks, picnic areas, and long stretches of scenic walkways and bikeways that hug the coastline—ideal for morning strolls, weekend rides, or simply soaking in the ocean views.
Pet lovers will appreciate Clontarf’s welcoming attitude toward four-legged family members, with several designated off-leash areas available. The suburb is also known for its vibrant wildlife, including the many pelicans often seen roosting on light poles along the bridge – a much-loved local sight.
For families with young children, the local playground, complete with an all-access swing, offers inclusive fun for kids of all abilities. Clontarf also features a popular boat ramp, providing easy access to Moreton Bay for boaters, fishers, and water sport enthusiasts. The nearby Hornibrook Pier is a favourite fishing spot where locals gather to cast a line and enjoy peaceful views across the bay.
One of the highlights of the Clontarf calendar is the annual KiteFest, held each June. Thanks to the suburb’s ideal wind conditions along the esplanade, Clontarf has earned a reputation as one of Australia’s top kite-flying locations. The festival attracts kite flyers from across the country and fills the sky with colour, drawing crowds of families and visitors eager to join in the fun.
With its welcoming community, natural beauty, and unbeatable proximity to Brisbane, Clontarf is a coastal suburb that offers the best of both worlds. Whether you’re spending the day outdoors, fishing off the pier, flying a kite, or simply relaxing by the water, Clontarf invites you to slow down and enjoy the moment.
