Wellington Point

Wellington Point is a coastal headland and bayside recreation reserve in the suburb of Wellington Point, Redland City, Queensland, on the shores of Moreton Bay, about 30 km southeast of Brisbane. It is notable for its sandy foreshore, historic jetty, extensive parkland, and views across to King Island and the bay islands. The reserve is a popular family destination for picnics, swimming at high tide and walking to King Island at low tide.

Visitors can expect a large bayside park on a prominent point extending into Moreton Bay with grassed picnic areas, a sandy beach exposed at low tide and calm shallow water at high tide, a timber jetty for fishing and sightseeing, and panoramic views to King Island, Moreton Bay islands and Brisbane. The area includes playgrounds, barbecue facilities, walking paths along the foreshore, and a natural sandbar causeway to King Island accessible only at low tide.

Wellington Point was named after the Duke of Wellington and surveyed in the 1840s. It was one of the earliest settled areas in the Redlands, used for farming and later as a seaside recreation area for Brisbane residents. The original timber jetty was built in the 1930s and has been rebuilt, remaining a landmark of the bayside community.

The area lies on Quandamooka Country, traditionally associated with the Quandamooka people. Today it is a significant community recreation and gathering place for Redland City residents and visitors, valued for its bayside landscape, island views and family-oriented reserve.
