Accommodation is in five two-bed, wooden chalets, situated amongst palms on the beach.  The chalets are very basic but spotlessly clean with comfortable beds and mosquito nets.  Ablutions are stand alone with two flush toilets and 2 separate showers.  Only cold water is available but due to the climate this is not usually a problem. The ablutions, restaurant area and kitchens have lighting and the chalets are lit at night by paraffin lamps. Turtle Bay Camp is established on a clearing shaded by coconut palms, merely 20 meters off the beach!  The island is fairly small (approximately 8 km in perimeter) and a walk around the island during low tide is strongly recommended. The most beautiful shells are found along the sandy beaches and lots of bird life and reptiles (such as the many geckos and chameleons) make for an interesting hike. Once the tide starts pushing over the flats, kayaks are available to explore the many channels that feed the flats with fish. The camp operates a reverse osmosis filtration system for the water supply, and a solar back up system supports the generator.  There is no cell phone reception at the camp. 

IMPORTANT NOTES: Turtle Bay Camp is situated within a malaria zone and as such, necessary precautions should be taken.  Humidity in the summer months is also extremely high and one should guard against dehydration and sunburn. The best time to visit the island is between May and September. A visit during the rainy season from late December to March is not advisable. Turtle Bay Camp is suitable for both fishermen and non-fishing partners.

Turtle Bay Camp is not for those wanting civilization, roads and shops. It is for those seeking a desert island experience – with seafood-based catering. The beaches are pristine, forest walks fascinating, fishing and snorkeling superb. But if this sounds boring, then Turtle Bay is not for you.
