Rainbow Bay

Rainbow Bay is one of the Southern Gold Coast's most picturesque coastal villages, offering a peaceful atmosphere, protected swimming beaches and breathtaking ocean views. Tucked between Coolangatta and Snapper Rocks, Rainbow Bay is a favourite destination for couples, families and surfers looking to enjoy one of the Gold Coast's most beautiful locations.

The sheltered waters of Rainbow Bay are ideal for swimming, paddleboarding and relaxing by the beach, while nearby Snapper Rocks is internationally recognised as one of Australia's premier surfing destinations. From the headland, enjoy panoramic views stretching along the coastline, or follow the scenic walking path towards Point Danger or Coolangatta.

Despite its peaceful setting, Rainbow Bay is only a short stroll from the cafés, restaurants and shopping of Coolangatta, allowing visitors to enjoy the best of both worlds. The nearby Rainbow Bay Surf Life Saving Club is a popular spot for beachfront dining with spectacular ocean views.

Whether you're chasing perfect waves, family-friendly beaches or simply a quiet place to unwind, Rainbow Bay delivers a truly unforgettable Southern Gold Coast experience.
