Indulge in a Labour Day Long Weekend Escape
Labour Day Long Weekend: 4 to 6 May, 2019
Why not indulge in a weekend escape to the seaside at Scarborough Beach Resort?
Scarborough Beach Resort is only 45 Kms from Brisbane CBD but is like escaping to an entirely different world, with gorgeous Norfolk Pines lining the beachfront, plenty or green spaces along the beach and the sparkling waters of Moreton Bay on your doorstep.
Scarborough has that village vibe of yesteryear and is surrounded with an array of restaurants and coffee shops that will keep everyone happy. Otherwise just kick back and relax on a sun chair around the 23m outdoor lap pool, soak in the heated Hydro Jet Spa or get all hot and steamy in the Sauna.
Also a rejuvenating massage can be booked and enjoyed from the massage room next to the spa or arranged for in-room.
In the early evening head to our Rooftop viewing floor which offers unprecedented views of the peninsula with the magnificent Moreton Bay on the east side and the beautiful Deception Bay on the West. Sunsets over the Glass House Mountains from this vantage point is a memory you will cherish.
Check out our great range of accommodation options including our motel rooms from $99 per night or our one, two or three bedroom apartments.

Osprey House Environment Centre
Osprey House Environmental Centre is a must see when you’re staying in the Moreton Bay region.
The centre is owned by Moreton Bay Regional Council and operated by trained and enthusiastic volunteers. It is nestled amongst mangroves on the Pine River, where it opens into a wide estuary and is rich with sea life and bird life, with bird hides along the boardwalks amongst the foreshore.
It features an osprey nest on the “Osprey pole”, with live streaming video of the ospreys fishing and nesting. The Ospreys can be seen at almost any time in daylight hours, soaring over the river, diving into the water to catch fish, or carrying fish back to the cross bars or nest. These majestic birds have become very rare or locally extinct in some parts of the world
The interpretive centre includes a life size dugong, bird and animal displays and the live streaming video from the osprey nest. You’ll find interesting educational displays, ‘touch’ tables and information provided in numerous and novel ways.
Osprey House Environment Centre is located on a picturesque site on the Pine River on Dohles Rocks Road, Griffin.
Take a drive out to Osprey House, located only 17 kilometres away, during your stay with us at Scarborough Beach Resort. Located on the beautiful Moreton Bay, Scarborough Beach Resort is the perfect destination for families, couples, and solo travellers who are in need of a relaxing getaway. BOOK NOW

Pelican Feeding @ Clontarf Park
Watch the delight on the kids faces as they experience the morning feeding of the quirky Pelicans at Clontarf Park.
Bring the kids to Pelican Park, situated along the Redcliffe peninsula in Clontarf, only 10 minutes drive from Scarborough, for a morning of Pelican feeding by the beach.
Every morning at 10am, the volunteers at Clontarf Visitor Information Centre bring out a bucket of fresh fish to feed the local Pelican population. The Pelicans often gather an hour in advance in anticipation of their fishy feast while the caring volunteers check the sea birds for any injuries.
Kids and adults alike are most welcome to observe these metre tall birds up close while the Pelican feeding takes place. The Pelican numbers tend to fluctuate from day to day as they continuously search for fresh food sources (their favourite meals being flathead, whiting and bream).
The park, aptly called Pelican Park is located at the southern end of Redcliffe Peninsula just next to Bells Beach. Apart from the huge feathered friends that visit daily, Pelican Park boasts an all-abilities playground with a Liberty Swing overlooking the bay. There is also a fully fenced boat-themed playground with undercover electric barbecues, picnic tables, toilet facilities, boat ramp and stretches of golden sand.
It’s just another fantastic family-friendly thing to do on the Redcliffe Peninsula during the summer school holidays.
