Tin Can Bay, Coastal settlement in Wide Bay-Burnett Region, Australia.
The town extends along the Great Sandy Strait, with mangrove wetlands and coastal waters supporting numerous marine species and water activities.
European settlement in Tin Can Bay began in the 1870s when timber workers transported logs through waterways to Maryborough mills.
The name originates from Aboriginal languages, possibly from 'tinchin' meaning mangrove in Yugarabul or 'tinken' referring to ribbed leaf vines.
The Tin Can Bay State School provides education from Prep to Year 10, with facilities including a library and multiple sports grounds.
Wild Australian humpback dolphins visit Norman Point regularly, where visitors can participate in supervised feeding sessions.
