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.
