Searys Creek
A clear, tea-colored stream beside the road into Rainbow Beach. A short walk along a boardwalk takes you to cool water to soak in, and there are few visitors.
Searys Creek lies beside the road into Rainbow Beach, about 7 kilometers from the town. From the roadside car park it is a few minutes' walk along a wooden boardwalk. The water seeps out of the sand layers, and it is clear yet slightly tea-colored, staying cool year-round. The creek bed is fine white sand, suitable for paddling and for children to splash in. Surrounded by wetlands and forest, the boardwalk offers chances to see small native fish such as the ornate pseudo-trout. It is accessible by ordinary car, with no entry fee and simple facilities. Mosquitoes are common, so bring insect repellent.
