Inskip Point
A sand spit north of Rainbow Beach, the ferry crossing to K'gari (Fraser Island), and a popular spot for beach camping and sea fishing.
Inskip Point is a narrow sand spit about 12 kilometers north of Rainbow Beach. Across the Great Sandy Strait it faces Hook Point at the southern tip of K'gari (Fraser Island). Most people board a vehicle barge here to reach the island. The crossing takes about 10 minutes, and the barge leaves as soon as it is loaded. The spit has several national park camping areas where you can camp by the beach, fish and watch the sunset, often with dolphins and seabirds nearby. Entry requires a four-wheel drive, and campsites must be booked in advance on the Queensland National Parks website. Soft sand can bog vehicles, so lower your tire pressure before crossing the beach. The spit has collapsed several times in recent years, so heed the warning signs on site.
