Clontarf suburb profile

Clontarf is a bayside suburb on the Redcliffe Peninsula, centred on a marina and waterfront reserves that give the area a strong boating and seaside character. The foreshore offers walking paths, picnic spots and boat ramps, while streets behind the esplanade feature a mix of lowset weatherboard homes, leafy blocks and newer unit developments close to the water. Residents tend to be a mix of families and retirees drawn to outdoor recreation and a quieter coastal pace, with a handful of cafés and shops clustered near the marina and straightforward road and bus links to the rest of the peninsula and the city.
