The Clontarf Visitor Information Centre is at the southern end of the Redcliffe Peninsula. The centre is found shortly after crossing the bridge along the waterfront where you will often find locals and tourists enjoying the Moreton bayside outdoors.
It is one of two tourist information centres on the Redcliffe Peninsula, the other is Redcliffe Visitor Information Centre located at Redcliffe Jetty.
Of the two visitor information centres, Clontarf has a larger building. The building was purposely built and designed in a shape to resemble a pelican (although I never thought of it looking like a pelican myself).
The centre has many volunteers to help you with finding information with local knowledge, as well as brochures and maps.
Located at Pelican Park , the volunteers at the centre provide a photo opportunity with the local pelican population. Pelican feeding is at 10am every day.
Address: Hornibrook Esplanade, Clontarf, Queensland.
