Rainbow Beach is a coastal town in the Wide Bay–Burnett region of Queensland, Australia, east of Gympie. The town's name derives from the rainbow-colored sand dunes surrounding the settlement; according to the legends of the Kabi people, the dunes were colored when Yiningie, a spirit represented by a rainbow, plunged into the cliffs after doing battle with an evil tribesman. Rainbow Beach is your golden gateway to some of the most amazing natural attractions to be found anywhere in the world. Originally known as Black Beach, Rainbow Beach was renamed after the colored sands located near the town which lies to the south of Fraser Island. It was gazette as late as 1969 when it was established to service the local sand mining industry. Until that time there was no road to Rainbow Beach, with the only access being via boat from Tin Can Bay. By road, Rainbow Beach is located 75 kilometers from the Bruce Highway town of Gympie, and 239 kilometers from the Queensland state capital, Brisbane.
