Do you need a 4WD for Rainbow Beach? Yes, you need a four-wheel drive vehicle. A normal car would not be able to get through the sand, so make sure to hire a 4×4.

No, you can't take a normal car to K'gari (Fraser Island). Only 4WD vehicles are allowed due to government regulations and safety reasons!
