Christmas shopping? Uggh!! What a drag!
Shopping out of town/online:
Add postage/ freight for online shoppers …
Add fuel ….
Add rising stress levels…
Add parking fees.
Shopping locally:
Saves time…..
Pumps money back into the local economy …..
Produces more employment in Rainbow Beach…..
It’s a win win situation!
Need a few ideas? Maybe these can help:
- 7th Wave can clothe the whole family…. they also have a huge range of beach gear, body boards, towels, hats and sunnies, plus gift lines…it’s a one-stop shop.

- Rainbow Beach Hardware not only carries paint, hammers and screws, they too can help with all things for your great outdoors adventure.
Staff Christmas party? How about taking them to one of our fantastic cafes or restaurants…. Food Sans Borders, Arcos, the Surf Club, Tin Can Bay Country Club and the Marina Bar and Grill are all great options.
Or how about a Christmas picnic? Rainbow Beach Fruit, Ed’s Beach Bakery, Chilly Bin, our IGAs and Ocean Breeze Seafoods can help cater for your party to end all parties. Oh, and don’t forget bubbles from the RBH bottle shop, and plates and napkins from Cooloola Wholesalers.
