THE spot for local prawns, open 7 days. Excellent value! Buy them here and cook them on the BBQs along the foreshore. Many of our guests talk about how nice the oysters are from Lee’s too.

I highly recommended this new cafe and restaurant as an experience on your way to Tin Can Bay. Outstanding meals with meat cooked over coals. Fraser Grill uses Padre Coffee beans, roasted in Noosa. Really, really good coffee. Very friendly and has developed a great reputation with locals.

By far the best fish and chips in town with options including seafood baskets. Great location, good service and high quality nosh. During school holidays you should get in early, or at least place your order early, as wait times can be long due to the very high demand.

Very popular with the locals for a nice plate of Chinese food. Large portion sizes mean sharing some options are a great way to go.

Arts & Culture
Soak up the Tin Can Bay hospitality and local culture at the Country Club. They have a bus service, so can collect and drop you back at Linga Longa should you need them too. A recently opened Chinese restaurant at the club is proving extremely popluar! Sometimes orders take over an hour to come through, so go early, order your meal and then sit back and relax with a drink until your meal arrives. Live music often happens, usually Friday nights, but check their social media page for details
