Let's have a beach party at Rainbow Bay

Beautiful Rainbow Bay... the Gold Coast's best kept secret.


Fast Facts

• A super sand bank formed in Rainbow Bay and once the swells starts hitting, local surfers can surf one of the world's longest, and most consistent point breaks.
• Abundant snapper and bream have lured beach anglers over the years, with the cove also offering the perfect chance to try your hand at kayaking or windsurfing.
• The Point Danger viewing platform allows you to take in the magnificent views along the coast, accessible via the coastal boardwalk.
• Captain Cook named Point Danger and Mount Warning as he sailed up the coast in 1770. The Tweed River was developed as a port from the 1830s to ship cedar. The Captain Cook lighthouse is worth a view.
• The Southern Points Promenade forms part of the Gold Coast Oceanway network, 36km of walkways, bikeways and viewing platforms.
• Rainbow Bay is located in between Coolangatta and Tweed Heads.
