Turtle Bay consists of a beautiful series of bays just east of Fitzallan Passage. There are a number of good lunch time spots in suitable weather during the April to September trade winds season.

Turtle Bay is on the southern coast of Whitsunday Island around the corner from Whitehaven Beach. There are two anchorages available and the area offers some good snorkelling and beachcombing.
Only available if North Easterly conditions are forecast for overnight and the next day.
Sheltered in NW and NE
Strong southerlies can catch you out in the middle of the night betwen April and September. It's best not to overnight here during these months.
The beaches here are very nice to visit... Sit and look across to Hamilton and Pentecost Islands to the South.
Sail around to Whithaven Beach via the Solway Passage
