Welcome to Wynnum

'Wynnum-by-the-sea' is how some residents refer to their home suburb. The whole Wynnum area, including Manly and Lota is focussed on Moreton Bay, with the more prestigious streets providing unbroken views to the islands.

There's always a cooling breeze and the Esplanade caters for morning walkers, joggers and cyclists with long stretches of waterfront parkland and bikeways. No matter how hot it is in the city, the temperature always seems to drop a few degrees along the mangrove boardwalk near Elanora Park, Wynnum North.

The recently renovated salt water Wynnum Wading Pool on the Esplanade is very popular and also of historic importance as it was originally constructed during the Depression years of the 1930s. The Wynnum Pier is a favourite spot to gaze out into the bay and breathe in the salt air.

Another popular spot at Wynnum is the historic Waterloo Bay Hotel built in 1889 and recently renovated and there are plenty of parks with shady trees and great sea views to enjoy fish and chips or a BBQ.

There is a strong sense of community in Wynnum and a thriving local shopping village in Bay Terrace. Although 16 kilometres from the city, the suburb is an easy commute of approximately 40 minutes by train. The suburb's demographic is changing from being a suburb of retires to one of families and there are plenty of schools, both private and public.
