The original jetty was constructed in 1888 to facilitate the transport of goods and passengers between the Redcliffe Peninsula and Brisbane.
The jetty acts as a critical viewing platform for observing dugongs and sea turtles, which are frequently spotted in the seagrass beds of Bramble Bay.
It is a renowned location for catching bream, whiting, and flathead due to the artificial structure creating an ideal habitat for small fish.
The site provides a clear line of sight to the shipping channel used by large vessels entering the Port of Brisbane.
Woody Point Jetty is a historic maritime structure extending into Bramble Bay on the Redcliffe Peninsula. The current jetty is a reconstructed version of the original 1888 pier, designed to maintain the area's heritage aesthetic while providing modern public access. It serves as a popular site for recreational fishing and provides panoramic views across to Moreton Island and the Brisbane skyline. The structure is built from durable, weather-resistant materials designed to withstand the coastal environment of the Moreton Bay region. It remains a focal point for the local Woody Point community and is integrated into the surrounding coastal parklands and walking tracks.
