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.

These dunes are a geological wonder, showcasing vibrant shades of red, orange, yellow, and even purple, making it a popular tourist attraction.

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.
