Download coordinates as: Shorncliffe is a coastal north-eastern suburb in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

It was built by local hotel proprietor William Deagon to attract ferries coming from Brisbane to Sandgate to disembark passengers at Shorncliffe too.

It was replaced with a longer pier built from 1883 to 1884, which was further extended to facilitate docking at low tide.

It was designed by architect FDG Stanley and built by contractors Woodward and Betts of Brisbane.
