Neighbourhoods

Brighton is a quiet seaside location. There are ample playgrounds for families to enjoy, dog parks and off leash beach area for those with furry family members. The cafe scene is quiet but we have a few gems that keep us all caffeinated… check the guide for options! Take in a stroll along the foreshore or watch the kite surfers on a breezy afternoon.

Downtown Sandgate is where you’ll find a bigger offering of cafes and shops. There’s fresh food markets held near the roundabout on Wednesdays and Saturday’s. Einbunpin Lagoon is always a nice spot to chill and watch the birds… or turtles sunbaking! Try Baaia (waterfront) or Capulet (Brighton Rd) for Coffee options here or Doug’s Seafood is my pick for fish and chips.

The pier is the most prominent landmark in this entire area. It’s also worth walking around the other side to the mouth of Cabbage Tree Creek. Moora Park (or Pirate Park as it’s affectionately known to the locals) is adjacent to the pier. The lower section has an amazing playground for children. The beach here is also a nice safe haven for swimming with kiddies. You’ll find a coffee cart here too. My pick is Wired Owl for coffee… and next door is Witchin’ Kitchen’ which serves up amazing breakfast fare. Be sure to book on the weekend as it gets busy. Matthew Thomas is on the cliff side and is another great brekky option. Booking is recommended on weekends.
