It is suitable for backpackers who are traveling by car. On the beach at the tower of “Surf Rescue”, there are wonderful hot showers, massive BBQs and public toilets in the main car park, which are open around the clock.
You can easily sleep in your car anywhere in Rainbow Beach. In our experience you won’t have to expect any fines here – after all, it is also the backpackers who make this place come alive.

If you want to charge the batteries of your laptop and phone, try the Rainbow Beach Community Hall on the main street (left side) that leads to the village. Here you can in the evening – sometimes more and sometimes less – undisturbed, on the sockets that are attached to the outside.
