Rainbow Beach

Escape to Rainbow Beach to experience an enchanting beachside village brimming with adventure and natural beauty. Filled with coloured sands, surfing, camping, four wheel driving, fishing, boating, and many other amazing natural attractions it is no wonder the location is in demand year round.

Situated north east of Gympie nestled between Tin Can Bay and the Pacific Ocean, this naturally spectacular destination is a major entry point to the Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park, which spans 41 000 hectares of luscious sub-tropical rainforest peppered with hiking trails and four-wheel drive adventures. One such trail is the Cooloola Great Walk, one of Queensland’s most remarkable trails spanning up to 102 kilometres from Rainbow Beach down to Noosa it’s a walk that is big on variety but short on difficulty.

You can also swim with dolphins, scuba dive with sharks, or paraglide or hang-glide over one of the top ten spots in the world, Carlo Sand Blow, a moon rock like sand mass overlooking Rainbow Beach. Head north to Inskip Point to catch a ferry to ship you and your car across to Fraser Island to explore the scenery and trek through bushland to the fresh water lakes. Rainbow Beach is a piñata full of natural wonders just waiting to be burst open and enjoyed!
