Why Visit Rosalie Bay During Turtle Season?

Rosalie Bay isn’t just a wellness retreat; it’s a conservation resort where nature’s most ancient travelers—the sea turtles—return every year to nest. Low season (April to August) is the best time to visit if you want to witness the magic of Leatherback, Hawksbill, and Green turtles coming ashore. Nesting happens between April and June, while hatchlings make their journey to the sea between July and August.


🌊 Support Turtle Conservation:
A portion of every booking goes directly to preserving these magnificent creatures.
Your donations help maintain the pristine nesting beaches and keep the turtle nurseries safe. Join our Sea Turtle & Me program and adopt a turtle to follow its progress!


πŸ“… Special Low-Season Events:

  • Jazz by the River
  • Easter Sunday Celebrations
  • Mother’s Day Retreat
  • Peace Park Photo Eco Course with Randy Kerr & Doug Box (Exclusive for Photographers)
