Travel north along Teewah Beach to Freshwater, Double Island Point and Rainbow Beach. The Islands beauty is seen all around: cliffs of red and orange rock, high sand dunes, fresh water lake, wetlands and wide open lagoons make the Great Sandy National Park a spectacular must see.

Endless Ocean views of blue skies and crystal clear water, invite visitors to swim, surf and jet-ski for hours on end.

Head to Rainbow bay, one of the most visited sites. Located on the other side of the island, a short journey through a peaceful forest track leads you to a picturesque opening of hanging cliffs surrounding flat open land and waters.

It’s hotspot for a barbecue set up and some time to enjoy the safe clear lagoon waters, whether you’re just heading in for a dip or towing a rope and board on the back of your truck.

Don’t miss Freshwater! Here you can enjoy a short track hike through tall forests that lead you to a fresh water lake.

On your way back in time for the sunset, stop off at one of the cliffs and challenge your friends to a race cliff climb. You won’t be disappointed with the great ocean views and breathtaking landscape.

The land is inhabited with endless native flora and fauna and is the largest remaining coastal vegetation in South East Queensland.

Double Island Point is about an hour and a half drive from Brisbane, and three hours from the Gold Coast. The perfect coastal day trip experience.
