Tobys Inlet is a calm and slow-flowing saltwater estuary near Dunsborough, within the City of Busselton. The waterway is sheltered, with its banks shaded by peppermint trees, and it supports a rich birdlife including ducks and pelicans. A key regulation for paddlers is that the local Shire prohibits all watercraft with motors on the inlet; only rowing-type craft like canoes and kayaks are permitted. For access, there is a boat ramp at Quindalup, which is a short drive from the Dunsborough area. A dedicated cycle and walkway runs along the inlet, providing a route to the boat ramps through the dunes. The inlet is situated near a tranquil nature reserve. The area is known for marine wildlife, including pilot whales, though their presence is unpredictable and strandings have occurred historically.
