Tin Can Bay
Have ago at windsurfing along the inlet
Located in picturesque Tin Can Bay Inlet, Tin Can Bay is home to close to 2,000 people and is a great place to unwind. Originally called Tuncanbar by the local aborigines, this peaceful bayside town is well known for recreational fishing and boating. 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 scenic canoe trips.
Feeding the dolphins
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.
Tin Can Bay Highlights
Environmental Walkway
The foreshores of Tin Can Bay can be explored via the environmental walkway. This allows visitors to observe the inhabitants of the foreshores in comfort and without disturbing their natural habitat.
Yacht Charter
Rent a yacht and sail around Tin Can Bay and the Sandy Straits, with yachts available at Tin Can Bay Marina. Bookings are recommended.
Houseboating
A holiday with a difference. For those who would like something flatter than a winged keel, a houseboat is a great way to motor around Tin Can Bay.
Fishing
A great experience either from the shoreline or offshore. For those looking to venture out onto the Inlet, "tinnies" are available for hire from businesses throughout the area.
