Shorncliffe Pier

Shorncliffe Pier is a heritage-listed timber pier extending into Bramble Bay at Shorncliffe in northern Brisbane, Queensland. Originally constructed between 1882 and 1884 and rebuilt and reopened in 2016, it is one of Brisbane's last remaining timber piers and the longest at approximately 350 metres. The pier is a popular recreational landmark offering panoramic views across Moreton Bay to Moreton Island, fishing opportunities and a flat boardwalk for walking.

Visitors can expect a 350-metre flat timber boardwalk extending over Bramble Bay with open views of Moreton Bay, Moreton Island and the Brisbane coastline. The pier has seating, fishing platforms and lighting, with a sandy foreshore, parkland and picnic areas at the shore end. The setting is open and exposed with sea breezes, suitable for leisurely walks, photography, fishing and watching sunrise or sunset over the bay.

Originally known as Sandgate Pier, constructed between 1882 and 1884 to serve as a landing for bay steamers and for recreation. It was a significant late 19th-century seaside attraction for the Sandgate-Shorncliffe area. The pier was heritage-listed and after deterioration was demolished and reconstructed to its original design, reopening in March 2016 as a 350-metre timber pier retaining its historic character.

A longstanding community landmark and recreational focal point for northern Brisbane, valued for seaside leisure, fishing and social gatherings. It represents the historic seaside resort development of Moreton Bay and remains an iconic symbol of the Shorncliffe and Sandgate foreshore.
