Right along the Gold Coast Oceanway, Rainbow Bay Lookout is a natural place to pause as you follow the coastal path north from Point Danger. A bench sits beside the path, perfectly positioned for taking in the views. From here you can look across the curve of Rainbow Bay and out toward the Pacific, while the skyline of Surfers Paradise rises in the distance on a clear day. It’s also a great vantage point to watch surfers riding the famous Snapper Rocks point break below, with waves often wrapping around the bay.
