Tin Can Bay, Norman Point

Norman Point sits at the northern tip of Tin Can Bay on Snapper Creek, offering a relaxed access point to the water and surrounding tidal flats.

The point is well known for shoreline fishing, with anglers casting from the rock wall or trying the '40ft Hole' at low tide. A boat ramp provides water access, and the area is a starting point for exploring Snapper Creek's mangrove-lined inlets by dinghy.

The sandflats exposed at low tide attract soldier crabs and over 140 recorded bird species, including migratory shorebirds, making the point equally popular with wildlife watchers. A wayfinding memorial rock serves as a central landmark.

The site also hosts year-round wild dolphin interactions near the boat ramp each morning.
