Secluded
in the midst of picturesque Tin
Can Inlet, experience a tranquil
getaway to this area known for
its eco-tourism surroundings. Tin
Can Bay is home to close to 2,000
people and is the place to unwind
and relax.
Originally known by the
aborigines as Tuncanbar, this
peaceful bayside town is well
known for its recreational
fishing and boating pleasures.
Its major industry is fishing
with prawning fleets based in
Schnapper Creek.
Sailing along the Inlet is a
popular pastime, with the
protected waters also providing
an ideal location for houseboat
enthusiasts. The estuaries
throughout the water system also
make for brilliant canoe trips,
while the popular facilities and
ample parking at the Norman Point
boat ramp allows access to the
Inlet for pleasure craft and the
wonderful sense of freedom on the
waterways.
Or if you enjoy bird watching,
you can view over 130 species of
birds along the Environmental
Walkway.
One of the very special features
of Tin Can Bay is the regular
visits of wild dolphins to the
water edge. The unique phenomenon
attracts locals and visitors from
far and wide.
As the dolphins are wild animals
in their natural habitat,
sightings cannot be guaranteed.
However, traditionally the best
times for viewing are between
7:30 AM to 10:00 AM most mornings
so please contact the Cooloola
Visitor Information Centre for
more information about dolphin
feeding in the area. Restricted
feed time of Mystique 8am to
11am.
