Turtle Bay

Sailor’s secret:

Explore the tiny coves and bays at this pretty bay while cicadas and other tropical insects provide the background music. Watch for manta rays skimming the surface.

Features:

Turtle Bay, at the base of Whitsunday Island, has a series of beautiful bays east of Fitzalan Passage. It’s recommended for a lunchtime stopover depending on the season. There are some pretty beaches to explore and good coral snorkelling over the reef on the eastern side. Expect to see fish of varied sizes feeding in the shelter. Or, take in the wonderful views over Whitsunday Island, the largest in the Whitsunday group.
