This surf club would have to have the worst meals and service of all the surf clubs in the area. Time for new management and a breath of fresh air to clean the club up.

This is a really nice beach and especially good if you like body surfing as we do. Take a picnic or BBQ lunch along but be early on a week end.

The view was absolutely stunning. We managed to catch the sun rise at arond 5.30am. This lovely attraction is only a 10-15 min walk from my hotel Kumone Beach Club which is one of the best hostels for backpackers in the area. Snapper Rocks is also a 10 min drive from the airport. Not to be missed.

We had Easter Sunday lunch at the Rainbow Bay SLSC looking out at Snapper Rocks. It's a great club and like most SLSC's has magnificent views. Service was excellent and the food was good and well-priced.

Just a magic location. One of the best breaks on the planet. If you want to swim head around the corner to Greenmount Beach & Rainbow Bay is also good for kids. If you are here on a holiday have a beer & a meal on the verandah of the Rainbow Bay Surf Club. After a day at work unwinding... More

Lovely surf spot that is busy area but has a good vibe to it, with nice eateries around the area. Get in early for parking.
