Rainbow Beach, located in Queensland, Australia, is a beautiful coastal town that’s not only famous for its stunning shoreline and crystal-clear waters but also for a unique geographical feature: the rainbow-hued sand dunes. Just a short drive up the beach from Double Island the main town lies Rainbow Beach Skatepark, a beloved local spot for skaters and scooter rollers. While it may be considered ‘old’ in the world of skateparks, it’s a hidden gem worth exploring for its laid-back atmosphere and unique surroundings.
First, let’s dive into what makes Rainbow Beach unique – the rainbow sand dunes. These multi-coloured sand dunes create a striking and memorable backdrop for visitors, giving Rainbow Beach its distinctive name. These dunes are a geological wonder, showcasing vibrant shades of red, orange, yellow, and even purple, making it a popular tourist attraction.
Rainbow Beach Skatepark may not be the most modern skatepark in Australia, but it has its own charm. It features rough concrete, which adds a rustic feel to the park and has its own unique character. The skatepark boasts a mini ramp, euro gap, flat rail and a bank.
In addition to these features, Rainbow Beach Skatepark provides an ideal setting for skaters to come together and enjoy the sport in a picturesque coastal environment. The park’s modest and somewhat weathered appearance adds to its charm, making it a genuine representation of the skating subculture’s spirit.
While Rainbow Beach Skatepark may not offer the modern amenities and pristine surfaces of some larger skateparks, it offers a unique and laid-back experience that captures the essence of this coastal community. Whether you’re a local skater or a visitor looking for an off-the-beaten-path skateboarding experience, Rainbow Beach Skatepark is well worth a visit. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the captivating Rainbow Sand Dune, making it a day of adventure and skating you won’t soon forget.
