Arcobaleno on the Beach

Rainbow Beach


Not actually on the beach (although not far from it) this welcoming, open-fronted Italian restaurant is set back from Rainbow Beach's main drag, behind the swish apartments of the Plantation Resort. Breakfasts such as savoury mince ragu with poached eggs ring in the day, while wood-fired pizzas and house-made pastas are great evening options. BYO wine.
