 Description of Rainbow Beach

Rainbow Beach is a vibrant young town that is and is located approximately 265Km north of Brisbane, 76Km east of Gympie and 700 Metres west of Fraser Island on the Cooloola Coast, Queensland. Rainbow Beach has the shortest barge access to World Heritage Fraser Island.

The beach has a relaxed atmosphere and has only been easily accessible since the early 1970's. Now, it’s a very popular spot for holiday makers, particularly four wheel drive enthusiasts, hang-gliders and backpackers. It’s said that 74 different shades of coloured sand can be found on Rainbow Beach.
