Rainbow Bay

Get in touch

On the very southern end of the Gold Coast, Rainbow Bay is a postcard perfect piece of coastline. As one of the region's only north-facing beaches, it offers calm, protected swimming conditions making it a favourite for families and casual beachgoers. The beach is bordered by lush parklands that feature barbecues, shaded picnic tables, toilets, beach showers, and a playground, creating a laid-back, all-ages destination with everything you need for a day by the sea.

Adjacent to Rainbow Bay is Snapper Rocks, home to the world-famous Superbank - a right-hand point break considered one of the best surf breaks on the planet. This legendary wave has helped shape the careers of local champions like Stephanie Gilmore and Joel Parkinson. For those who prefer to watch the action, the Rainbow Bay Surf Life Saving Club offers prime viewing from its balcony, with sweeping views across the point to Burleigh and beyond.

The Oceanway walking and cycling path passes right by the beach, making it easy to explore the coastline on foot or bike. Whether you're here to swim, surf, or simply enjoy the views, Rainbow Bay offers the perfect mix of natural beauty, world-class surf, and community charm.
