You can also pick up some fresh fruit and vegetables while plenty of entertainment such as face painting, buskers, jugglers and musicians are available. If you do get a hankering for a quick bite try out some of the fast food stalls selling, corndogs, German sausages, hamburgers hot chips and slush puppies.
The jetty is the town's central attraction which has been an import factor to Redcliffe since the 1800's. It is quite common to see a wedding taking place at the scenic jetty while holidaymakers can look forward to enjoying long walks, indulging in a spot of fishing and photographing the lovely environs.
