Noosa's North Shore

The Coloured Sands by 4WD Coloured Sands Just a short drive from the freshwater camping area on the North Shore beach, this outstanding natural attraction of multi-coloured cliffs provides the perfect backdrop to 12 km of coastline which stretches between Rainbow Beach and Double Island Point. Dozens of sand colours can be seen on this stretch of beach, with some of the striking sand cliffs towering to a height of 200 metres. So as not to get stranded on the beach by incoming tides, it is vital to check the tides before four-wheel driving along the beach.

It can be reached by a walking track from Cooloola Drive or by driving up the beach from Noosa’s North Shore.
