Inskip Point

Where the barge comes in for Fraser Island. Beautiful at low tide, especially at sunset. Lots of March crabs to watch. Large area away from the 4WD’s to walk around and enjoy the scenery.

Visited the bay on the west side of Inskip Point. Low tide with lots of soldier crabs and other native wildlife. Beautiful walk on the tidal flats as the tide was coming in.

Inskip point is where the barges go to Fraser Island. No camping here. You can go fishing off the beach. There are camping spots before you get to the Point.

You do not need tickets to enter so not sure why that option is there. But when you are driving around Rainbow beach you should definitely see all the points. It was just us and another family who was there when we went. It is very easily accessible but as we wanted to spend more time on Rainbow beach we didn't stay there long. The views are beautiful and if you want a quiet place to play in the sand and sea I would recommend it!

Despite the YouTube channel highlighting the notorious soft sand, we cruised through being spring and the sand not hot to sink us. Nice edges to park and swim on the way to the barge to k'gari and it is pleasant tosit and watch the action of traffic cruising through.

We just want down to explore and watch the barge/Ferries come in & go back out over to Fraser Island.A grwat walk through the National Park out to the Beach area...gorgeous walk, awesome outlook & the WHITE SAND & TEALY BLUE WATER colours were amazing & magical...WELL worth a visit even if you are NOT going over to the FABULOUS FRASER ISLAND...Lots of Basic Camping Sites along the Road too

The beach at Inskip Point is just beautiful and the views over to Fraser Island are amazing. The sand is so fine it squeaks when you walk on it. The waters are warm and calm and there is about a 10m shallow sand area before it drops off into deeper water. There is no coral here but plenty of small fishes if the kids want to snorkel. Because the point sits at the mouth of the Tin Can Inlet (20km long) and opposite Fraser Island (which has the Great Sand Strait separating it from Australia) the tidal flow at the point can be quite strong so be aware of this if you swim in water deeper than you can stand in. Inskip is the jumping off point for 4x4 adventurers taking the barge to Fraser.The road to Inskip from Rainbow Beach is sealed all the way and there’s plenty of parking at Inskip. If your into camping there is about 2.5km of camp grounds on the ocean side of the drive just before you get to Inskip. The ground is sandy and there is shade from the scrubby trees to pitch your tend under or park your van. The camping ground has ablution blocks scattered along it and looks to be only about 100m wide and abuts the beaches.I did some casting practice (no fish caught hence not fishing) but had plenty of bites and saw fish chasing bait a few hundred meters off the beach on 2 occasions. Perhaps you will have more luck (or skill) than me.....tight lines !!

MAKE SURE TO NOT LET DOWN YOUR TIRES!! this is very important as lowering your tires increases your drag and will get you bogged. Don’t fall for the age old stitch up.

I love the fact that we still have beautiful places like this where we can go with our furry friends
