Beachmere.
Beachmere. It is one of Brisbane’s outer suburbs and located in the Moreton Bay Region, of Queensland.
The name means ‘Beach Upon Marshy Ground.’
The township is situated at the mouth of the Caboolture River where it enters Deception Bay on a small peninsula formed by the river and the bay.
It has long been known as a fishing community and in the days of the early settlers, the area became inaccessible due to flooding in the wet seasons.
The Baker family owned much of the land between 1893-1967 and in recent years, Beachmere has become a commuter township, with a State primary school (1986), two shopping areas, a public hall, a caravan park and a sailing club.
The residents of Beachmere have resisted change over the years preferring to protect their sleepy fishing village reputation but development over the last decade has caused it to be a vital link in the Moreton Bay ecosystem.
Prior to Beachmere becoming populated by the white man, the area had much cultural and spiritual importance to the Aboriginal tribes.
A bora ring has been preserved to maintain that bridge to the past. The ring is believed to have been used for Aboriginal initiation ceremonies.
There is a 2-lane boat ramp and pontoon available at the end of Saint Smith Rd. This ramp enables boats to launch into the Caboolture River and from there travel up the river or out into the bay, into Pumicestone Passage or Burpengary Creek, or towards Deception Bay, Scarborough, or even Moreton Island. For people who do not have their own boat, they can hire one at nearby locations such as Sandstone Point and on Bribie Island.
Beachmere lies at the south-eastern coastal fringe of the Caboolture Shire and, as its location suggests, is at the hub of the Deception Bay fishing and recreational boating industries.
The tide comes right up to the stone wall along the waterfront and I know residents who often fish for their breakfast a few feet from their homes. Just another reason to love Beachmere if fishing is one of your passions.
It is adjacent to one of the most prolific fishing grounds in south-east Queensland and the safe aquatic playground of Pumicestone Passage. This protected stretch of water separates Bribie Island from the mainland.
The Queensland State Equestrian Centre in Caboolture, is close to Beachmere and therefore it is not unusual to see riders and their horses trotting along the waterfront at low tide in preparation for equestrian events.
There are a few great walking locations apart from the beach at low tide and a popular one is the Moreton Bay Marine Park waterfront between Sandstone Point and Beachmere. The area is very tranquil and will take you through various vegetation habitats including mangrove, melaleuca, woodlands and open forests.
And after you have spent a few enjoyable hours soaking up the seaside pleasures of Beachmere you can call into the local store for refreshing snacks, coffee cold drinks or order a takeaway meal and take it to a quiet spot at the beach before you head home. But if you are one of the fortunate residents who live here, your takeaway meal can be enjoyed from a deck chair in your back yard overlooking the azure blue seas and appealing horizons. Very nice indeed!
THANK YOU FOR VIEWING. HAVE A GREAT DAY.

Beautiful place to visit or live there, Trudee. Love the serenity of the beach and the stone walkway. U&R.
Thanks Jo. It is a lovely place.
That looks like a nice place for some relaxation and a little vitamin D. There doesn't seem to be anyone on the beach, though!
It is a nice place @fotosdenada We went there on week day and because there are so many other beaches to choose from in the area with Surf and a variety of shops and reastaurants available, this beach is not as populated. And this is exactly how the locals like it. Thanks very much for visiting.
