Scarborough Beach Park
Being sheltered from open water by Moreton Island, Scarborough Beach has calm, surf-free beaches which are perfect for families with younger children.
At low tide, the waters of Scarborough Beach are only knee-deep until about a hundred metres out from the shore and fish and even the occasional stingray can be seen through the crystal clear water.
A short walk up the beach will bring you to volcanic rock pools full of colourful crabs and other creatures, where the kids can explore and discover all types of sea life.
Once the kids get tired of the beach, Scarborough Park is adjoining the beach. The park has two sections, one with an adventure playground and the other with amazing cotton trees which have been growing for decades and twist around one another and are great for climbing.
The kids will never be bored for entertainment at Scarborough Beach these summer holidays.

Woody Point & The Gayundah Shipwreck
On the southern end of the Redcliffe Peninsula and on the opposite point to Scarborough is Woody Point. Only a short driving or cyling distance of 7km it is worth a visit during your stay at Scarborough.
Woody Point is a nice relaxed seaside village with two historic hotels (The Palace where the Bee Gees started and the award winning Belvedere), charming eateries, seaside arts and craft shops.
Woody Point is mostly renowned historically for being the landing spot of Matthew Flinders in 1799,and is the final resting place of the HMQS Gayundah wreck which first took to the water in 1885 before being finally decommissioned in 1958.
Up until the end of World War I she was used as a mine sweeper and sea tender ship and by 1919 had been decommissioned, sold to civilians and was thereby stripped and demoted to a gravel barge.
By 1958 she was retired and towed to the base of the cliffs at Woody Point where she has since acted as a breakwater, protecting the shore not from the enemy but from erosion.
