Bring your camera. Enjoy a swim at the flagged area any time of year!
Pack some bubbly and a torch in a knapsack and walk up to the sand blow. You can take the bushwalk track from behind the National Park Office. Alternatively you can drive to the carpark at the top of Cooloola Drive.

Look out for wildlife. Don’t forget to pack the togs, water and snacks (or lunch) and camera. Please make sure you where joggers and sunscreen.
To access this walk drive towards Gympie and take the Fresh water track at Bymien Rainforest Park. This track is suitable for all vehicles.
Allow a few hours, Settle by the Shore of Poona Lake with a picnic, it is such a secluded spot you will have the place all to yourselves!
Day 3:
Inskip Point
Pack your picnic, fishing rods and pick up some bait. If you have a 4WD take the first beach access road after the first roundabout on the Inskip Road. Please check the tides first (tide chart available at reception).
There is also Bitaman Road to Inskip Point. Park near the trail roundabout and it’s not too far to walk with your gear to the beach side on the right or the still waters of Pelican Bay on the left.
*TIP*
Walk along the beach to watch the barge – you can hop on and go overseas yourself! As a foot passenger (free on foot).
Day 4:
Double Island Point
* Check you tides*
Make sure you see Double Island Point! It is a paradise. If you have visited Fraser Island, either get us to book you a swim with the dolphins, or learn to surf on Australia’s longest wave.
If you have your own 4WD, you can also drive up past the Coloured Sands. Walk up to the Lighthouse and you can spot the dolphins and turtles. In the winter months of June up until the last days of spring in November you can see the humpback whales!
If you are not after 4WD trip – go fishing as Carlo Point. You can hire a tinnie or a kayak, and it is a beautiful spot to watch the sun set over the water.
Or if you prefer a lazier day - you can always visit our beautiful beach again! Read your books or find a shady spot then walk up the stairs to the Surf Club for a long lunch and more of those spectacular views.
Day 5:
Tin Can Bay
Start early if you want to feed the dolphins. There, the volunteers will let you in the water near to the dolphins and feeding time is at 8:00 AM. Please note that charges do apply.
With an esplanade with kilometres of foreshore, it's a wonderful place to walk, or ride a bike to the cafes where you can enjoy some of Tin Can Bay’s beautiful fresh seafood.

Take a Tour!
Rainbow beach has great tour option for all ages, ask our team and we will find something that suits you and your family and book for you.
One of our most popular tours is a great adventure on Fraser Island. World heritage listed and only 15 mins away. You will see pristine rainforests, lakes and travel down to Gli creek. Another great tour option is kayaking with the dolphins. Experience a great day with one of nature’s most playful creatures in one of nature’s best part of the world.
Both tours are big days. Our best suggestion is booking dinner out at the club across the street, the pub just down the street, or the lovely Italian place around the corner.
