Rainbow Beach Attractions
The list of Rainbow Beach attractions is one of such length that it would be impossible to see and experience them all in one or two days. Holiday makers will be taken aback to find an unrivalled selection of attractions. Rainbow Beach is where you'll find the combination of city and beach lifestyles set amidst a spectacular skyline and brilliant stretch of coast.
Australia Zoo - With ten shows daily, you can get your adrenalin pumping as you watch crocodiles launch a strike from the water's edge, see the world's oldest Giant Galapagos Tortoise or make friends with our wandering animals.
Cooloola National Park forms the southern section of Great Sandy National. Stretching south from Rainbow Beach to the Noosa River at Tewantin, it provides a haven for indigenous flora and fauna threatened by urban development and is characterised by open heath land, Banksia woodlands, dry sclerophyll forest of Scribbly Gum and Blackbutt, rainforest, coloured sand cliffs, attractive and extensive beaches, a plenitude of birdlife, including sea eagles, and the freshwater lakes, mangrove wetlands and tributaries associated with the Noosa River.
Inskip Point Recreation Area - To the north of Rainbow Beach the land forms a 12-km finger-like sandy peninsula which acts as a natural breakwater, ensuring calm waters at the entrance to Tin Can Inlet and the Great Sandy Strait between Fraser Island and the mainland. The flora of the area consists essentially of coastal trees, such as cypress pine, and coastal shrubs which provide habitat for a range of birds. The associated waters are rich in sea life and fishing is popular, though bag limits and size restrictions apply. Swimmers can enjoy ocean beaches or the calm waters of the inlet or Pelican Bay.
Underwater World - Unravel the mysteries of the deep in Australia's own world class aquarium. Underwater World's 2.5 million-litre oceanarium is the home of the ocean's most fearsome predators, which include a variety of sharks, giant rays, groper, and many species of ocean going fish.
These are just a few of the many different Rainbow Beach attractions, so either way there is a Rainbow Beach attraction for everyone to enjoy.
