Wellington Point Overview
Wellington Point is a suburb of Redland City, about 22 km east of Brisbane. The suburb derives its name from Wellington Point which extends prominently into Moreton Bay. Based around this geographical feature, the community enjoys a village lifestyle based around the local shopping precinct, but also has access to nearby pubs, clubs and extensive sporting facilities.
The point and its adjoining waters are used extensively for aquatic sports. Water sports, fishing, picnics and boating are very popular pastimes at the Point itself all year round, with walks out to the tiny adjoining King Island a must for every adventurer.
The area is also a popular day-trip destination. While it is predominantly urban, Wellington Point retains a seaside and village atmosphere.
Every Sunday at historic Wellington Point State School, visitors and locals enjoy the Wellington Point ‘Country’ Markets.
