A short 5 minute stroll from the cap ark, through a pristine national park; you will be in awe when you arrive at the Sand Blow.
We regularly take the children with waxed knee boards to whisk down the sand hills here.
The views are absolutely stunning. From differences by vantages; you will see 360 degree views if Double Island Point, Fraser Island, Tin Can Bay waterways, Cooloola Reserves, the big bright blue Pacific Ocean and Rainbow beach.
Take a picnic and watch the sunset here. There’s no brewer place to watch uninterrupted sunrises and sunsets.
Additionally, you can view paragliders take off a sail through the skies.
The natural colours here are amazing.
This is a must see place to enjoy and see.

Visited here a few days ago and wow! We went up just before sunrise and got a great spot to view the sunrise over the hills. Absolutely beautiful. Would recommend anyone to visit this place. We even saw thousands of flying foxes going over. Brilliant spot

We walked from our accomodation up to the start of the track. However, there is a carpark at the start of the track so of you've already got your 10,000 steps in for the day a better option may be driving up to the carpark then walking!
It is approximately half a kilometre walk to the sand blow itself. The track is unsealed with a few staired sections. Thongs are more than suitable.
If you walk down to the left towards the beach you'll be presented with awesome views of rainbow beach in both directions. It is a bit of a hike back up so if you're not too fit keep that in mind before racing down eagerly.
Take a boogie board with you (can be purchased from a few stores along the main Street) and ride down some of the sandy hills to the side of the sand blow

Make sure not to miss seeing the sunset and the beautiful dunes. The view is incredible. We parked our car in the car park and from there it’s only about a 600 metre walk through the rain forest on a well marked track. Enjoy.

An easy walk; some stairs (handy tip: take a water bottle) and then rewarded with spectacular views of the amazing sandblow. Kids: Take your boogie board if you want the thrill of riding down the sand dune. Great little adventure for families for an hour or two. Beautiful to watch the sunset if you’re timing is right (check sunset times)

Really amazing natural attraction. Incredibly huge area where you feel like a tiny ant. You really need to bring a boogey board - I didn’t and ended up unsuccessful scooching my butt down a steep sand dune. Hilarious and fun but would’ve been so much better with a board. It’s incredibly windy though but a lovely walk down to the sea cliffs where you can see uninterrupted views of Rainbow Beach. The walk back though was uphill sand - not great for the unfit.
There’s a great viewing platform which is a short 10-15min walk from the car park.

A really nice place for an evening short walk and a sit down to see an amazing sunset. Can get busy with others around you but there is enough space to seek some solitude. Spectacular sunsets, a must see when in Rainbow Beach.

Been here a few times this year. Twice in September and once in December. All three times watched the sun set over Rainbow Beach. The third time was an anniversary picnic. I really do recommend. It is worth the walk.

A natural wonder!! Must see in Rainbow Beach! Beautiful views, sunset and sunrise from the dunes. Kids had a ball sliding down the dunes on boogie boards. Not a bad track from the car park. Take a torch for the walk back down if going for sunset.

I cant gush enough about how beautiful this place is. First off, it is a very easy walk to the sand blow. Little stroll through the trees to get there. You can do this walk in flip flops and then take them off once you get there. The view is incredible. The water is turquoise. It’s huge! This place is great for photos (wedding and engagement photos for sure), a picnic, exercise. Bring a board or large piece of cardboard for sledding down some of the hills. There’s decent parking.

You can get a cheap board at the surf shop in Rainbow Beach. Have fun!
Would I have to bring my own sand board to Carlo sand low
