Beachcombing is a fun activity the whole family can get into. Why not take the youngsters to Rainbow Beach to see what you can spot washed up on the seashore?

When you've spent a bit of time at this stretch of coastline in Queensland, why not check out Inskip Point, Cooloola Great Walk North Trailhead, and Phil Rogers Park? They're close to Rainbow Beach and also a favorite with travelers.
