1 / 3Settlement Cove Lagoon
📍 Redcliffe, QLD
Free public swimming lagoon at Redcliffe with lifeguards on duty, BBQ and picnic facilities, and direct waterfront views across Moreton Bay. Popular for swimming, fishing, and full-day family outings.
I have been a regular swimmer at the Lagoon for the last few months. The Lifeguards have been very friendly and supportive while keeping a constant watch over swimmers. This Lagoon is a testament to the MBRC and as more people move to the area it is becoming increasingly busy. Thank you to the Team who look after and maintain the facilities ensuring all visitors are welcome. Go check out the Lagoon soon 🏖️
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families who want a full-day waterfront outing without any entry cost. Lifeguard supervision makes the lagoon suitable for confident swimmers of school age and above. BBQ facilities reward families who bring their own supplies. Weekday mornings are noticeably quieter than weekend afternoons.

“Just beautiful and relaxing. Friendly people. Down side was all the awaring from high school kids. More F and Cs than I've heard in a while and not really acceptable with so many little kids around.”

Overview
Settlement Cove Lagoon sits on the Redcliffe waterfront with Moreton Bay views in every direction. Lifeguards patrol during operating hours. Free BBQs and picnic tables are spread across the grounds. A canteen serves fish and chips and ice cream when open — hours vary, so check ahead. Free parking adjoins the site. The lagoon draws swimmers, anglers, and picnickers and has grown steadily busier as the Redcliffe Peninsula population expands.
