Originally called Back Beach this picturesque coastal town was only accessible by boat until 1969. Today it is a thriving beach town and your gateway to some of the most amazing natural attractions to be found anywhere in the world.
Rainbow Beach is best place to launch your trip to the natural wonderland from. Join everything from day trips to multi-day experiences on the Island right from your front door. But before you go racing off to Fraser Island make sure you take in all of the amazing natural wildlife right there in Rainbow Beach including Cooloolar Park for it's rainforests, hearthlands, and freshwater lakes; the 12 metre high Carlo Sand Blow, and the coloured sands that give the town it's name, about 2km along the main beach.
