Tin Can Bay is located on the Fraser
Coast in Queensland,
just north of Rainbow Beach.
You can get to Tin Can Bay by heading East from Gympie.
The attractive drive, passes plenty of fantastic landscape
scenery along the way and so is worth the effort. |

|
Tin Can Bay is a very pretty place,
with its main attraction
being the early morning dolphin feeding. It is one of only
three places around the whole of Australia, where you can
officially hand feed the dolphins in the wild.
|
|
If you are interested in feeding the
dolphins you should head to Barnacles Bait and Cafe, which
is located at the end of the Tin Can Bay Marina. Feeding
starts at about 8am and continues until approximately 11am
(unless the dolphins decide to leave beforehand).
|

 |
|
The dolphins that you will see at Tin
Can Bay are Pacific Humpback Dolphins, which are slightly
different in shape to the well known Bottlenose Dolphins.
|
|
 |
Due to the fact that the dolphins are wild, times
cannot be guaranteed. It is worth arriving by 8am to maximise
your opportunity of feeding the dolphins.
Tin Can Bay also offers dolphin cruises, allowing
you to see the dolphins and the beautiful bay from the water,
as well as deep sea fishing.
