Meet the site
Woody Point Jetty is a long, notably wide timber jetty on the southern shore of the Redcliffe Peninsula, looking across Bramble Bay towards Brisbane. It is primarily a fishing jetty, with shelters and fish-cleaning stations along its length, and is popular with anglers and cast-netters chasing mullet, bream and whiting; interpretive signs at the landward end tell its history. It is not a well-known dive site and no dive-specific guide to it was found during research, so it should be treated as an occasional muck dive for local divers rather than a destination. The appeal, as with many South East Queensland jetties, lies in the pylons. Oysters, sponges and ascidians coat the timber and concrete, and in the shallow, sheltered water around them small creatures can be found by patient divers: nudibranchs, pipefish, small crabs and shrimps, gobies, juvenile fish and occasional octopus. Fish commonly seen from the jetty include bream, mullet and whiting, and visitors regularly report turtles surfacing beside it. The major constraints are visibility and tide. Bramble Bay is shallow and muddy, and even on a good high tide visibility is often only a couple of metres; after rain the water turns brown. The jetty is also heavily fished, so divers must watch for lines, hooks and cast nets and should avoid peak fishing times. For divers living on the northside who want a short critter hunt without a boat, it is worth a look on a clear, calm high tide in winter; for everyone else, the Gold Coast Seaway or the Tangalooma Wrecks offer much better shore diving.
Research this site before booking Stored site notes may be historical. These questions highlight gaps without turning old instructions into a current dive plan.
Woody Point Jetty is recorded as Jetty/Pier in Brisbane & Moreton Bay. The listed access is shore. Confirm the actual meeting point, route and permission to visit; a map pin does not establish any of these.
Topics flagged by the stored research
These are questions prompted by the existing notes, not a verified or complete hazard assessment.
- Other water users
- Ask about vessel activity, exclusion areas and the agreed surface arrangements.
- Lines and obstructions
- Discuss any known entanglement concerns and the suitability of the planned area.
Historical access notes exist for this record, but have not been independently verified for current use. Request current directions from the operator or site manager rather than following an old entry description.
