“Beach? What beach?”
High tides and massive swells have eroded much of Main Beach at Rainbow Beach.
The four access walkways to the swimming beach have collapsed, and the Surf Lifesavers Tower stands vulnerable to any further surges.
There simply is no beach at high tide, and what is left of the fragile dunes should be protected at all costs.
So, as concerned Rainbow Beach residents, we have requested Gympie Regional Council to not issue any event permits for the Rainbow Beach foreshore for the remainder of 2025.
Events that have previously been held on Main Beach are the Nipper Carnival with 600-plus participants, Outrigger Competition 500-plus, Boardriders 100-plus, etc.
It is an ever-changing beach, but let’s protect it as best we can.
