How Rainbow Beach has made the news…

Rainbow Beach Horserides were listed by Escape.com – rated in the top 16 for “Jobs that actually exist in Australia” and make you “want to quit your office now”. They are also celebrating 10,000 guests!
Tourism Australia is focused on young working holiday makers, and jobs that come with Australia’s most “jaw-dropping scenery” including pilots, pearl farmers and park rangers.
Then, Weekendnotes.com listed Rainbow Beach Ultimate Camping as Number 1 for five glamping spots near Brisbane for “wannabe” campers. They said there is so much to do in our “stunning area” – and that Inskip Peninsula provides “provide spectacular views of the World Heritage Listed Fraser Island and the Great Sandy Biosphere”.
Finally, the Australian Financial Review newspaper touted Rainbow Beach’s Double Island Point top of their list for “6 of the best styling surf destinations for weekend breaks”.
They described us as “one of the world’s great beaches, Rainbow” and said “DI” has one of the “best waves in Australia”, “a mini-Pipeline but it is essentially a perfect barrel wave that rarely gets above four feet and works all the way across a picture-postcard bay”. They encourage city goers to arrive at Sunshine Coast Airport and stay at Rainbow Beach.
It is no surprise to the team at Epic Ocean Adventures, the only surf school permitted to teach at this unique surf location, known for Australia’s longest beginner waves.
But why is this point break so much better than beach breaks along the East Coast of Australia?
Tyron Van Santen from Epic Ocean Adventures said, “First time surfers generally need longer to find their feet. A wave that breaks for hundreds of meters is always going to give beginners a much faster progression and rewarding surf experience. The team make sure everyone that experiences a surf lesson stands up on this epic wave!”

“We had a couple from Germany on a surf lesson with Vince last week. The guy was well over 100kg and Vince had them up and surfing, and they had so much fun they joined the lesson again the next day. It’s such an easy wave for beginners.”
Epic Ocean Adventures run exclusive surf lesson adventures to Double Island Point daily, as well as offering surf hire and rides for visitors that want to experience this unique location.
Double Island Point is only accessible by 4WD around low tide and you will require a permit to access it through the Great Sandy National Park.
“If you want to make your way up in your own 4WD and join the surf lesson or hire a board we are always easy to find. We have a large range of surf equipment and SUP’s for all levels of surfing.”
The Epic Ocean Adventures team are looking forward to another busy summer swell season.
“We have a great team on board now with Sean and myself. All fully qualified with loads of surfing experience and passionate about all things surf!”
