Turns out we're not the only ones that think Turtle Sands is a fabulous spot to visit during the cooler months... 🐋🐬🦈

Green and loggerhead turtles, gentle giant manta rays, docile grey nurse sharks, migrating humpback whales, dolphins and more call the Southern Great Barrier Reef region home during the cooler season.

It's World Turtle Day, and did you know...? 🐢🤔

1. They’ve been around forever 🦕
Marine turtles have existed for over 100 million years – they swam alongside dinosaurs.

2. They travel entire oceans 🗺️
Some species migrate thousands of kilometres, crossing oceans between feeding and nesting grounds.

3. They always find their way home 🤯
Female turtles return to the exact beach they were born on to lay their eggs.

4. Temperature decides their s*x 🌡️
Warmer sand = more females, cooler sand = more males. Nature’s own thermostat.

5. Only a few make it 🐢
Out of 1000 hatchlings, just one or two will survive to adulthood, making every nesting site incredibly important to protect.

At Turtle Sands, we're committing to protecting one of the most important nesting sites for endangered sea turtles in Australia.

From thoughtful design to our guest Turtle Protection Promise, it’s an Eco Certified holiday you can feel good about.

And falling in love with turtles? That's a given 💚

🥇 Gold for Turtle Sands at the Australian Tourism Awards 🥇

We’re incredibly proud to share that Turtle Sands Nature Resort has won Gold in the New Tourism Business category at the 2025 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards.

Since opening in October 2024, Turtle Sands has been recognised for its innovative, conservation-led approach to nature-based tourism, creating a truly unique guest experience alongside the remarkable turtle nesting beaches of Mon Repos.

These national awards bring together the best tourism operators from across Australia, with state and territory gold winners progressing to the national stage. Turtle Sands earned its place as a finalist after first winning the New Tourism Business category at the Queensland Tourism Awards.
