The Causeway and Kinka Beach
 
This is the short stretch of coast between Lammermoor Beach and Emu Park, Rosslyn Bay is the boat harbour for the Capricorn Coast and the Great Keppel Island ferry departure point. Rosslyn Bay was one of the few small boat anchorages for commercial fishing boats on the Capricorn Coast, but as the number of both professional and private boats increased demand grew for a sea wall and other facilities. In response to this demand a harbour was built and opened in 1972 and despite the normal run of problems associated with anything to do with the sea it fulfilled its original purpose as well as providing a timely springboard for the development of the Keppel Bay tourist industry.
 
   
Rosslyn Bay is the departure point for Great Keppel Island Ferries and all cruise and charter boats
