Rainbow Beach is where the bush meets the beach in the most spectacular way. You've got to see the famous coloured sands; it's like nothing else, with over 70 different shades painting the cliffs. For an unforgettable sunset, take the short walk from the end of Cooloola Drive up to the Carlo Sand Blow – it’s a massive sand dune with views that’ll leave you speechless. If you're feeling adventurous, you can drive right onto the beach (just make sure you've got a 4WD and a permit!) and find your own perfect spot for the day.
