Moreton Bay My Way with Alex Glenn

Redcliffe is known for its vacation-worthy weather, waterfront parks, beautiful beaches and a bustling cafe scene. Former Brisbane Broncos player Alex Glenn showed us how he spends his day in Moreton Bay Region with his family.

With wife Jemma and new born son Oakley settling in at home, Alex adventured north of his home town of Burleigh with Miller and Gisele for a day trip by the bay on the Redcliffe Peninsula.

Filled with putt-putt, top-notch seafood eats and a swim at Sutton's Beach, they hope to inspire other day trippers to make the most of Redcliffe and it's surrounds.

Here's Moreton Bay, Alex's Way.

Tuck into fresher than fresh seafood at Morgan's

Worked up an appetite putting over the ocean floor? Head to Morgan's Seafood and taste the magic of Moreton Bay while enjoying a view over the beautiful Scarborough Marina.

If there is one thing we're proud of here in Moreton Bay Region, it's our seafood. Taste-test your first Moreton Bay bug, enjoy a fresh crab, shuck your own oysters or order take away fish and chips - Morgan's seafood is second-to-none. Sourced straight from the trawlers and direct from the fisherman there's something for all members of the family.

If you're a sweet tooth and need something to cleanse your pallet after your seafood feast be sure to grab an ice cream from their ice cream kiosk!
