Rainbow Beach Reserve

Beautiful beach that seems to go on forever. A great place to visit, there are clean restrooms and picnic tables in the beach reserve area. Parking is a bit limited on busy days.

A little piece of Mid North Coast paradise! Works best on SW winds with a bigger swell. Good amenities and a sweet cafe on top of the surf club. A stones throw from Enginia Holiday park

Visited there at Xmas with the family. Found a nice shady spot . With a table and chairs. It's such a beautiful area. I recommend it to anyone looking for a picnic spot and swimming area which is safe. Lifeguards there which is a positive.

This was my first port of call for my newly trained pup.

I'd heard that it was off leash on the northern beach access.

First off leash experience for my lovely boy Boz? 120/100!!

Thank you to all the lovely dog owners who made it truly special.

Lovely location with BBQ amenities and Covered eating tables. Close to surf club and parking. Surf club has a cafe or the local fish and chips are just up the hill.

Beautiful beach! Very family friendly!

Fantastic, but don't tell anyone

Clean beach. Lifesavers in watchtower with flag area for swimmers/bathers in front.
Nice seating areas on reserve above beach. Easy access to beach.
Great cafe in surf club behind beach carpark. Walking north of beach flag area is a small creek coming off a lake area. Dogs can have a run unleashed past this small creek.
Not too crowded. Sand easy to walk on and quite flat. Such a picturesque area.

Nice place for a very long, quiet walk along the beach, chill out & relax.
Coffee shop located inside the Lifeguards Building on the first floor with lovely views.

Always beautiful when we visit. Kids enjoyed building in the sands, searching for shells, finding baby crabs and loving the breeze and waves.

What a beautiful place. The atmosphere is amazing & my Partner, my Daughter, her Daughter & 3 Grand Children had a ball over our 4 day holiday. Great place, good people. See u next year Bonny Hills Big 4 Ingenia Holidays Park & Rainbow Beach.
(I don't really want to let this little secret holiday place be known, cause everyone will turn up there & book it out lol. But truly recommend)... cheers

This is one of my favourite beach ⛱

Awesome public space with a GREAT view.

Do yourself a favour and walk up behind the surf club, and take in the view! Why not grab a take away from the shop across the road, and have a picnic looking out at the ocean!

A coffee in the park at beach level, at one of the tables or chairs is great too. Take away coffee available at the cafe in the surf club or up at the general store.

Toilets available here too, plus good and LOTS of parking... And YES, it's ok in dry weather to park on the grass next to the surf club.

There was a girls only surf club monthly surf comp on when we were here. Yes, it was busy, but still plenty of parking and with boards laying out on the grass everywhere, surfers chatting etc it looked like a scene from an old surf movie.

A great beach with good surfing on the Southern end or at Middle Rock on the Northern end.

Great amenities. Lots of places to sit, eat and play. Great place to bring kids. The beach is amazing. Not too far from Port Macquarie. Every time I'm in Port I visit Rainbow Beach as well.

Beautiful beach. No crowds. Very tranquil and peaceful. Guarded for limited hours. Great parking, nice views, easy walk.

Beauriful park with childrens play area, which goes down to the beach. BBQ area plus tables and benches. Dog free leash area north of the surf club which goes for 3 to 4 kl. Always people on the beach enjoying it.

Nice beach, have play ground for kids, have bbq, and good wave.

Gorgeous little grassy reserve right on the beach! Toilet facilities, sheltered tables, BBQs, shaded grassy area, and an excellent play gym available. Watch the birdlife while listening to the waves.

Nice spot right near the beach. Good playground and open area for the kids to burn off some energy, bbq/picnic areas, amenities and nearby Fat Fish cafe, surf club and Bonny View store.
