Sandgate is a northern coastal suburb in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.[3] In the 2021 census, Sandgate had a population of 4,926 people.[1]

The town became a popular destination for the people of Brisbane in the early 20th century and remains popular due to its coastline, including Lovers Walk along the bay between Sandgate and neighbouring Shorncliffe as well as Moora Park and Beach.
