Settlement Cove Lagoon

Settlement Cove Lagoon (Redcliffe Lagoon) is a stunning tropical-themed seafront public pool located on the Redcliffe Peninsula. Surrounded by palms and fig trees, the swimming lagoon, wading pools, and local area is a popular spot for families in summer.

Young children will enjoy the fenced-off water park with mushroom fountains, and a nearby playground with swings and a slide. Settlement Cove is a great picnic spot, with barbeque areas, picnic shelters, and plenty of shade.

Bikeways link the lagoon to Redcliffe Pier and Southern Redcliffe Point.
