Tin Can Bay is situated at the southern end of the Great Sandy Strait, in the Tin Can Inlet, at the bottom of Fraser Island. The area provides for great boating in a wide variety of weather conditions and has a great reputation for fishing.

Getting Here By Boat

Be aware that water depth in some areas is limited to 2.1m.  On entering Snapper Creek keep green markers approximately 10 to 15 meters off your starboard side. Keep the vessels on swing-moorings on your starboard side as the green marker is a bit hard to see. Let us know you're coming and we'll assist in any way we can.

Getting Here By Car

Travelling north from Brisbane on the Bruce highway, as you come to Gympie, turn right onto Tin Can Bay Road towards the coast. From there it’s a 35 minute drive to Tin Can Bay.

Southbound travellers on the Bruce Highway should go through Maryborough. The Cooloola Coast road will take you to Tin Can Bay Road where you go left and follow it to Tin Can Bay.

Once in Tin Can Bay, look for the left turn at Oyster Parade.  Tin Can Bay Marina is on the corner of Oyster Parade and Emperor Street.
