Rainbow Beach

Rainbow Beach is an emerging, small coastal community located on an unspoilt sandy shoreline sweeping along the northern side of Double Island Point, and nestled just below the southern tip of World Heritage listed Fraser Island. The township sits on a north-facing beach, 60km north of Noosa Heads along the famous Noosa Northshore and is bounded by the extensive Cooloola National Park to the south.

Rainbow Beach is accessible by car with a two-and-a-half hour drive from Brisbane, or by air with a scenic 25 minute connecting flight from Noosa or a connecting flight from Brisbane or Maroochydore. The town is also easily accessed to the regional centres of Gympie to the west, and Maryborough and Bundaberg to the north.

This small, friendly township offers the ultimate beach lifestyle.

A broad range of accommodation and shopping is available as well as golf, horse riding, surfing, lawn bowls and fine dining.

The size of Rainbow Beach is approximately 16 km2. It has 4 parks covering nearly 1% of the total area. The population of Rainbow Beach is approximately 2,000 and the predominant age group is 50 – 59 years.
