You'll need a 4WD vehicle, but being a little harder to get to makes it all that much more special. Get yourself a camping permit and stay overnight. #beach

I took a #roadtrip to the Carlo Sandblow located at Rainbow Beach. It's a short walk through a rainforest habitat (with some stairs) before opening to an expansive sandblow that sits above the rainbow sands. The views are breathtaking! #nationalpark #queensland #australia #weekendgetaway
