Tin Can Bay
Tranquil Coastal Getaway near Fraser Island
Tin Can Bay, 245 km north of Brisbane, is a small centre of over 2000 people, on the mainland, opposite the southern end of Fraser Island. It is situated in a sheltered position within a deep but narrow inlet which is further protected from the ocean's raw force by a peninsula that juts out from the mainland near Rainbow Beach (see below), on the other side of the inlet. Tin Can Bay is a tranquil and picturesque getaway for those who want relaxation and simple pleasures rather than cultural activity.
