Only a couple of kilometres north of Bargara, Mon Repos is famous as the largest and most accessible turtle rookery in mainland Australia. During the day, Mon Repos is popular for swimming and sailing; however, the turtle nests must be taken into account. No dogs are allowed on the beach and beach umbrellas should not be used above the high water mark as they may damage the eggs.

In Bundaberg on the Southern Great Barrier Reef between November and March, there is a miracle that takes place nightly on the shores of Mon Repos beach - only 7 kilometres from Bundaberg.
A visit to the Southern Great Barrier Reef during the warmer months, November through to April, will see you witness the start of something great - the Southern Great Barrier Reef Turtle breeding season!
