Rainbow beach is a small, sandy bay. On the far right and left  it gets rocky, however the beach itself is mostly sandy. Limited to no shade. A great little beach bar is located on site and often has live music in the afternoons.  A volleyball net is available. Rainbow is very popular on Sundays; on weekdays it is quiet and sparsely populated.

Most of this beach (in the water) is very rocky with large gaps you could get your foot stuck in.  The smaller rocks were being tossed around in the water & smashed into my feet & ankles.  You definitely need water shoes here. There is some shade available & the bar/restaurant makes a great pina colada!

The beach n bar/restaurant were great the beach was full of rocks as soon as u went in the water needed a raft I can’t take walking on rocks overall not what we expected as a beach thought it would be more secluded but a nice stop to visit

This beach has plenty of sandy area to spread out on, calm water, although rocky in spots, and very laid back feel. Rhythms at Rainbow Beach is more than a bar, it has pretty good food also. There is very little natural underwater cover for fish despite the rocks so it'a not a great snorkeling spot. If you ship docks in F'Sted this is worth a cab ride a little north along the shore.
