One thing you just can’t leave without trying is its fresh supply of seafood caught daily in Tin Can Bay. Dine in or like many savvy travellers stock up your holiday fridge and enjoy fresh prawns, crabs and fish right on the water’s edge. There’s sailing, horse riding, shooting, two excellent bowling clubs, an 18 hole golf course and a sealed path that follows the mixture of wild and manicured foreshore around the town. But the really unique activity is Kayaking, there’s miles and miles of pristine waterways alive with skates, turtles, dozens of fish species, dolphins, mud crabs, sand crabs, but if you just want a paddle, there’s Breakfast point, the Clickity Clack Shore, the floating tree and Snapper, Crab and Searys Creeks to explore. And then there’s bird watching, yes, you “twitchers” can have a field day, there are over 70 species of shorebirds around the “bay”.

R A I N B O W B E A C H
Rainbow Beach is a coastal town in the Wide Bay–Burnett region of Queensland, Australia, east of Gympie.
At the 2011 census, Rainbow Beach had a population of 1,103. It is a popular tourist destination, both in its own right and as a gateway to Fraser Island.
The town's name derives from the rainbow-coloured sand dunes surrounding the settlement. According to the legends of the Kabi people, the dunes were coloured when Yiningie, a spirit represented by a rainbow, plunged into the cliffs after doing battle with an evil tribesman. Much of the sand colours stem from the rich content of minerals in the sand, such as rutile, ilmenite, zircon, and monazite. A black dune of ilmenite sands, overgrown by dune vegetation, can be found north west of the main town. This is currently being removed for sale in China with complete removal expected to take two years.
The Cooloola Section of the Great Sandy National Park borders the town to the south. A number of walking tracks through the national park depart from the southern outskirts of Rainbow Beach. This includes the northern end point of the Cooloola Great Walk.
By road, Rainbow Beach is located 75 kilometres (47 mi) from the Bruce Highway town of Gympie, and 239 kilometres (149 mi) from the Queensland state capital, Brisbane.
