Inskip Peninsula separates open ocean surf from the sheltered estuary waters of Tin Can Bay and the Great Sandy Strait. This sand spit is clad in casuarina, cypress pine and other coastal vegetation, providing a great habitat for birds. The beaches and mudflats are roosts for waders and thousands of migratory shorebirds.
Bring your own drinking water and camp in one of four shady camping areas. Enjoy wide ocean beaches or watch sunsets over quiet bay waters. Dogs are permitted in the recreation area, but must be kept on a leash. This is a wetland of international importance. Bring your binoculars to view birds in the early morning or late afternoon. Look for button-quail on the sandy tracks, shorebirds in summer and dugong, turtles and dolphins in the bay.
