I was forced to go out to Sandgate exceedingly early in the morning with an eager friend to go for a walk along the water (why we had to drive to Sandgate was beyond me). As we arrived and I stepped out of the car grumbling I was greeted by a surprisingly beautiful view. All this time I've been living in Brisbane, and I've been out to Sandgate for various reasons more than once, and I never knew this was here. The cycleway/footpath to be graced with our presence ran along the bay; it was incredibly picturesque. It's a very popular place with people of all ages cycling, walking, skateboarding and jogging along the path. There are picnic tables the entire way along and towards either end are small parks with sheltered tables and amenities. It's not especially long, approximately 2km, so if you're in training for a marathon it's probably not ideal. Although it's really pretty, so maybe you could just do several laps. read more

Sandgate/Shorncliffe Cycleway - Parks Near Me - Shorncliffe and Sandgate, QLD

Wish I could agree with previous posts but our experience recently was terrible. We ventured down just before dawn with the intention of going out onto the rock wall to experience the serenity and beauty of day breaking over the beautiful Bramble Bay. Alas, we were shocked to see the carpark at Moora park overflowing (still pitch dark) as as we walked down the ramp we were overwhelmed by a number of exercise groups covering most of the area and trainers bellowing out commando style orders. I have nothing against being fit but these exercise groups have stolen the serenity and beauty of daybreak in this beautiful area. We decided to walk along the top of the cliffs only to then be subjected to numerous groups of very loud (and quite foul mouthed) bicycle riders riding along the road. I feel sorry for the people who live close by and are subjected to this noise assult so early in the day. read more

So much beauty here! Definitely my favorite place in the world. Always busy you can tell who the newbies are due to them not walking on the left and causing accidents for the cyclists great to see dog owners being responsible and doing the right thing. You do get the odd ones here and there who forget or don't pick up after there pet. Now that the pier is rebuilt, a large number of fisherman/women visit. Be careful they tend to leave bits & pieces lying around, if not careful you will run cycle walk into it. I have a couple of times just missed them swinging fishing line out and in. Great place to be and start or end your day. Popular in the weekend. read more

Cycle along the cycleways, jog along the path or have a picnic under the gazebo or lay out a rug on the grass. It's a great place to take the family and enjoy the scenery Shorncliffe has to offer. There is plenty of green grass for picnics on the grass, alternatively, you can find big picnic tables available under cover. Each table has a view of the ocean, so the setting is magnificent every time. The Shorncliffe Pier is frequented by a few people casually trying to catch fish and tourists checking out the water. On some days, you might even find a couple getting their wedding/engagement photography done. With its picturesque setting its no wonder its considered such a romantic spot. read more
