Description
Rainbow Beach, Australia, offers a unique paragliding experience, often compared to the famous Dune de Pyla in France. This site is renowned for its superb dune flying, making it ideal for wagga and soft acro maneuvers. The launch area is situated in a venturi, so be prepared for stronger winds than forecasted due to the flat terrain.
The site features nearly 10 kilometers of 100-meter-high sand dunes, providing beautiful coastal soaring opportunities. Takeoff can be done from anywhere on the sand blow, and landing is straightforward, either on top for paragliders and hang gliders or on the beach. However, avoid landing between the swimming flags if they are present. During high tide, accessing the site by car can be challenging due to rocks near the access ramp. If you land far south of the launch, hitching a ride with a 4WD vehicle is a viable option.
Rainbow Beach is located about an hour's drive from Gympie. Park at the car park near the water tanks and radio tower, then follow the track to the sand blow, approximately 400 meters away.
