Good Morning to All

Thinking of a trip to Double Island Point this weekend, weather pending.

Would appreciate if any members can comment on the beach access as I read recently it was not good due to storm activity causing damage to some areas around the point.

Thanks

Lockey

I was up there about 2 months ago and you can't turn left to go up the beach to rainbow but you can turn right and drive all the way to the point. Best bet will be to give the rangers a ring up there to get the latest conditions

Hi Lockey,

The Leisha track was closed due to erosion on the southern end of Rainbow Beach however at low tide it has become passable again at times. National Parks recommend that Rainbow beach toInskip point is accessible with caution.
Conditions do vary so best to have alternative plans to get through to Rainbow beach (Freshwater track) if the tide is up or it has changed. I was there a month ago and it had improved.

A mate of mine came from Rainbow Beach via the Freshwater Track and down to Tewantin last Sunday afternoon (low tide was around 3pm I think). Said the track was good as was the beach. Don't know about the Leisha track though. National Parks on the website have a Cooloola Conditions Report which is generally updated every fortnight but is a bit out of date now. I have posted the link.
