Captain Cook Parade is one of the best streets in Deception Bay, especially around the library end. The area has a lovely laid back atmosphere with everything close by. There are the local cafes, the library and lots of great places to relax and eat along the foreshore (some with public BBQs & play equipment) There is plenty of bird life in the area and the views across Moreton Bay are breathtaking, especially at Sunrise.

Love Deception Bay. Have just bought here (early 2017) and been living here for the last 4months while we do a renovation and have found the people to be friendly and helpful. The area where we are along the northern waterfront is quiet and quite frankly breathtaking. Love waking up in the morning to the gorgeous sunrise across Moreton Bay, enjoy watching the neighbour dogs being walked along the foreshore by their owners of an evening, there is wildlife galore and plenty of boating action to distract you over the weekend and during the week when the Newport yacht club conduct their sailing races. I have made the mistake of setting my office up in the upstairs sunroom in front of the big glass windows and find myself constantly pausing to take in the view. So hard to concentrate when you live in paradise. I am sure there are some areas of "The Bay" that are still questionable but they are becoming less and less as time goes on. My advice would be to come visit the area first and you will see what I mean. Then get in and buy soon, because the prices are starting to move up and will only continue to do so. Where else can you buy for so little so close to so many great amenities and so close to the city and airport (only 25mins I find). I shudder to think what the prices will be in 10years time along the foreshore.
