Rainbow Beach offers a stunning backdrop against the blue green water and the green hilltops. The sands are an array of colours from yellow to rich red. This place gives the adrenaline junkie parasailers an ideal location to launch from and enjoy the views from the sky. Blue skies, sun shining, the water a beautiful turquoise colour and warm. A great place to take a mini break and also a gateway to Fraser Island.

You'll need a 4WD vehicle, but being a little harder to get to makes it all that much more special. Get yourself a camping permit and stay overnight. #beach

Rainbow Beach was an unexpected destination for me, so much to see and do and the beach drive was fantastic too! I highly recommend the Rainbow Beach Horse Rides for bareback ocean swimming tours! I loved it. :)

South Pacific Resort & Spa Noosa

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. "

Ivory Palms Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely amazing accomodation to fit anyone’s needs. Travelling with our adult children and they were all wanting to extend our stay. Had a great time at the pool. 20 min walk to Gympie terrace and we hired a BBQ Pontoon boat and spent half the day on the water. Super easy check in, staff were kind and helpful at all times. Our apartment was big enough for the 6 of us and we had direct access to the pool. Would most definitely recommend Ivory Palm resort and would 100% be back again. Thank you kindly for the memories our family have made during this trip. "
