Situated 245k north of Brisbane and 60k west of Gympie, Tin Can Bay was established in 1870 on a secluded inlet. Now with a local population of around 2,000, this pretty village offers an ideal holiday venue for fishing, boating and eco enthusiasts and those seeking a genuinely relaxed experience.
Good fishing is experienced all year round as there is excellent protection for fish breeding grounds. An environmental walkway commences opposite the library which can be followed to learn about the local flora and fauna. Canoes, houseboats and yachts are a popular way to experience the tranquility of the waterways of Tin Can Bay Inlet and the Great Sandy Straits.
From about 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., Pacific Humpback Dolphins arrive to be hand fed at the Norman Point Public Boat Ramp. Tin Can Bay is one of just three places in Australia where dolphins are hand fed in the wild.
