    Tin Can Bay is a quiet little seaside town but has the basic ammenities needed for a short stay including a good sized IGA store, a licenced club, take away shops, etc. It is 30 minutes drive from Rainbow Beach which is a very popular beach for swimming and the gateway to Fraser Island with access to the island from Inskip Point via barge. Rainbow Beach also has direct beach access to 4X4 vehicles where you can drive from Rainbow Beach all the way down to Teewantin along the pristine beaches. There are also numerous 4x4 tracks to explore as well with Freshwater Track being one of the most poplular. Note that a vehicle access permit is required for beach and some track drives.

    We enjoyed the location.

    We enjoyed the location. It was a nice quiet relaxing place to visit. The meals we had were excellent at our the marina and the Country Club. The coffee shop at the small shopping area was excellent and so was there cakes and breads.

    This is a great little town. Coastal location.

    This is a great little town. Coastal location. Relaxed and friendly locals. Excellent fishing spot, including charter fishing boats. Some nice cafes and restaurants, particularly Sails at the Marina, the Country Club, and the Bowling Club. Not far from the big smoke (Gympie). Markets once a month. A seafood truck visits one of the Caravan Parks once or twice a month.

    Tin Can Bay is a small place but there are quite a few activities available, the most famous of which is feeding the wild dolphins from the dock. Great walkway along the estuary with lots of informational plaques about the wildlife. Easy reach of Rainbow Beach which is much busier and crowded.

    Seeing the dolphins at Barnacles Cafe is a bucket list...

    Seeing the dolphins at Barnacles Cafe is a bucket list experience, run by amazing volunteers. It opens at 7am and if you wish to feed the dolphins, I advise you to arrive before then to line up for a ticket. Only so many feeding tokens are sold. Having said that, there are plenty of them. It costs $10 per person to feed a dolphin and I think it was only $5 to view. Once you have your ticket, there is no need to worry about lining up to feed as everyone with a ticket will get to feed them. Believe me, the dolphins don't go until they see the bucket is empty! Viewing is along the front where there is a bench seat and people sit on the ground or stand behind to watch. The really great thing is that the organsiers will ask the people at the front to move to the back to give others a turn at front row viewing. This rotation may happen a few times and I thought it was great to share the love. You should be prepared to get wet maybe to your thighs on a high tide when feeding. Also, you are required to remove your shoes, so wear thongs if you can rather than shoes and socks. Sadly, there is no disability access to feeding. However, a wheelie would easily be able to view the proceedings. There are also plenty of chairs from the cafe which are available to folks who can't stand for long periods. There is no guarantee how many or which dolphins will come in each morning, but it is rare they don't turn up. The fact that these wild creatures choose to come visit is humbling! Fantastic experience!

    Quiet retiree town.

    Quiet retiree town. Nice for a relaxing time if you can sustain yourself. Not really for kids but great as a 1 night stop for them with the dolphin feeding a playground, walks and tidal beach flat to walk out on with soldier crabs and of course fishing.

    The water views contributed to mental peace. Tin Can Bay is just an ideal place to isolate oneself and rest. Not noisy- sufficient amenities in the area Great golf club and Chinese restaurant. The managers Greg and Karen were quite helpful and friendly. Greg took time out to talk about things in general. I believe he is still waiting for our game of golf. Karen is an amazing hard worker in getting rooms ready and clean Will we stay there again - yes but, just the one problem which is answered next.

    Steve was so welcoming, nothing was any trouble. The location is so peaceful and close to the most stunning beaches and locations. I was only ten minutes drive from where I feed wild dolphins at Tin Can Bay. Steve was very generous and took me to all the hidden gems at Rainbow Beach that locals only know and in a convertible, it was EPIC fun. :-)))))))) My stay felt just like home. I can’t thank Steve enough, I will be back.

    The house was ideal for me, very clean and spacious. The location was great, and private,with just a short drive to the local IGA and to the dolphin feeding. The staff at Century 21 were very friendly and efficient. I'm very happy with the whole experience. Thanks Century 21 for making my stay a very enjoyable one.

    Very clean and recently updated. The owner / manager was very friendly and helpful when enquiring about the dolphin feeding. They supply nice cream and choc chip biscuits for your cuppa, not just the plain arnotts.
