Victoria Point has long been a gateway to Moreton Bay’s islands, with ferries running from its jetty to Coochiemudlo Island and beyond. Once a sleepy fishing and farming community, it has grown into a vibrant bayside suburb while still holding onto its relaxed coastal charm. Locals often say Victoria Point offers “the best of both worlds” — the calm of the bay and the convenience of modern shopping and dining.
