Rainbow Beach Travel Guide

Tourist Guide
Sunshine Coast
Kick back beneath the coloured dunes of Rainbow Beach, one of Queensland’s favourite fishing and off-road destinations.

Named for the subtle spectrum of colours in its dunes, Rainbow Beach is a captivating spot for a camping or fishing getaway with the Pacific Ocean providing the soundtrack. Pitch your tent under the shade of coastal trees. Go four-wheel driving or start searching for that perfect fishing spot. As the filling in a national park sandwich, Rainbow Beach is also an idyllic base for adventures further afield. Fraser Island (K’gari) is situated at the end of the inimitable Inskip Peninsula, while the Great Sandy National Park beckons from the south.
