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.

The park’s modest and somewhat weathered appearance adds to its charm, making it a genuine representation of the skating subculture’s spirit.
