Another popular location to meet local or visiting guests is the heated Rock Pool, Hot Tub or the clothing optional, private beach.

Exclusive private secluded beach

Turtle Cove Beach Resort has something special that very few accommodation resort hotels in the world can offer. An exclusive private beach with clean, soft sand surrounded by rain forest mountains, giving you the most private and discrete beach experience in Australia. And, during your visit to Turtle Cove, its all yours! The adjacent private secluded beach is clothing optional for those who dare to bask in the sun in nothing more than sunglasses. And with Australia's harsh sun, we suggest you slap some sun screen in every nook and cranny, just to be safe.

We welcome you to enjoy your stay in as little clothing or as much clothing as you like on our adjacent clothing optional private beach, (and we'll try not to sneak a peek), but due to Government Food Health & Safety requirements we ask that you please wrap your self in a towel or pop on some swimwear in the resort, bar, pool and restaurant areas.
