Clontarf is a south-west suburb of Redcliffe City in Queensland, Australia. It is the largest suburb in the city by land area, and borders all suburbs in the city except for Redcliffe and Scarborough. It encompasses the localities of Clontarf Beach, and Pelican Park.
Attractions and features
Clontarf is connected to Brisbane City, across Bramble Bay, by the Houghton Highway and Hornibrook Bridge, which is a 5km long causeway that provides access to the southern tip of Redcliffe City, greatly decreasing the travel time between Redcliffe and Brisbane. Consequently, Clontarf is a gateway suburb.
During the past few decades, beach goers have not viewed Clontarf as a very enticing destination, due to its coast being polluted with human effluent[3] and other pollution from Hays Inlet and the South Pine River respectively, opting to visit beaches in Redcliffe or Scarborough instead. The environmental situation has improved, however, and Clontarf Beach, and Bell's Beach, Clontarf are two of the closest beaches to Brisbane City.
Pelican Park is known for its kite flying conditions, and a local industry has built around the sport. On weekends, many kites can be seen flying above Clontarf from the Hornibrook Bridge.
