Charlish Park

Charlish Park is an idyllic Norfolk Pine shaded beachfront park at the edge of Suttons Beach, nestled on the southern side of the Redcliffe SLSC and Settlement Cove.

As well as spanking clean barbecues, character red-roofed picnic shelters and plenty of green grass to spread a rug on, there's an excellent children's playground to one side, divided into a younger 'Youth Park' further down and an older zone of the 10+.

The equipment may be fairly standard - tube slides, hurdy gurdies, climbing frames and swings, but with views to Moreton Island, the patrolled Suttons Beach out front and Settlement Cove around the corner (and the essential amenities block on hand) locations don't come much better than this.

Parking is down by the Redcliffe SLSC (get in early!) or up on Redcliffe Pde.
