"Hidden Gem at Gold Coast: The Rock Pool of Rainbow Bay 🌈🌊"
📍 Rainbow Bay – My absolute favorite stretch of ocean. These phone shots were taken last year under partly cloudy skies – pure magic! ✨ Highlights Nearby: Point Danger Lookout: Where QLD meets NSW – literally step across the border marker and bam, you've "been to NSW"! Snapper Rocks (P11): The iconic rock pool's exact location. Captain Cook Memorial: Rich history with breathtaking views. 🚗 Getting There: From Brisbane: 1.5-hour scenic drive. From Surfers Paradise: ~40 mins | From Tweed Heads: ~20 mins (perfect for a day trip!). 🅿️ Parking Tip: Try Boundary St if Snapper Rocks lots are full (weekends get busy – go early!). 🏊♀️ The Rock Pool Experience: Formed by nature's artistry – massive boulders create a shallow, wave-protected swimming area. Perfect for non-swimmers too! (Just mind the slippery rocks 😉). Tide flows in/out between the rocks, making it a natural infinity pool. ☕ Nearby Eats: Plenty of cozy cafes along the beach – fuel up after your swim! 💭 Final Thoughts: A place so special, I'll keep coming back. My first-ever rock pool discovery – ideal for photos, swimming, or just soaking in the serenity. Don't miss it! #HealingLandscapes #RockPool #Australia #Brisbane #GoldCoast #HiddenGems
