WHEN TO SEE IT AT ITS BEST

Turquoise Bay is open year-round and is always a glorious spot to visit. If you want to swim in that spectacular water when it's at its warmest, go during the summer months, which are from December to mid-April. However, be aware that it can get very hot during this time, which is why many say that the best time to go is from April to October. The days will be sunny and warm, and it will be more comfortable to explore Cape Range National Park without scorching hot temperatures. Be sure to read the signs about low and high tides and currents in the area when planning to swim or snorkel.
