Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A beautiful place to enjoy the sunset. Did a bit of snorkelling and kayaking here, lots of coral, but a bit more exposed so no so many fish.

We stayed in a cottage right opposite the beach so only about a 4 minute walk to the crystal clear water. Very clean sand with lots of shells to admire and very sheltered from the elements.

On the day without much wind, it is wonderful time to kayak to various snorkelling spots like Comets and Coral gardens. You could enjoy these places for yourself and colours of corals at the Garden are very nice. There are small Galapagos sharks and sting rays to be seen. However, beware if it is windy, as it will be an exercise to get back against the wind.

This beach is so picturesque and amazing to view & swim.
There are so many areas to occupy on the beautiful sand or grassed areas (shaded or in the sun) . the trees and mountain back drop is mind blowing as is the clear and refreshing water. Snorkel around the rocks and see corals, sea sponges, fish & even large crays. LHI town center is a short walk and so are many tourist tours & equipment hire-kayaks, snorkeling equipment. The lagoon is vast and safe from the beach to the outer reef.
We hired a kayak and went from beach at town to airport and to outer reef. Jumped off and snorkeled the most amazing colored coral & sponge beds, saw amazing sea life including the shy Galapogos sharks. The best I have seen in my .35 years of diving & snorkeling in Australia & abroad

Great place to swim, walk along and snorkel for the coral bombies. Windy on the western side but dead calm here.

Loved the location of Pinetrees Lodge as it was situated on the Lagoon Beach with its own private Beach Hut for sitting and watching the sun set and enjoying a drink with other guests.

This is a great beach to walk along. Or relax on. And to swim in. Close to cafes and usually calm and safe to enjoy. Spent many times here and never get tired of visiting

A fantastic place to snorkel, kayak, paddleboard or swim. The beach is generally sheltered so it is very good for people who are not confident in the water.

Hello, is Lord Howe good for snorkeling (I don't dive any more). Would wetsuits be required for late November due to water temps or stingers?

Take a wetsuit it’s a windyyyy Island. Snorkelling awesome. Go to Ned’s beach feed the fish and swim with em and or do the turtle day trip in the Lagoon, snorkel around em. It’s world heritage through n through. Well kept Island nature.

For an adventurous mature life loving female travelling by herself, which would be the most relaxing, friendly pleasant place to stay? With modest costs (ie not the most expensive, but mid range)?

Interested to know if folk who have swam at LHI in May/June found the water a bit chilly - or was it ok swimming & snorkelling in normal bathers??

Hey we have been there in February, September and October and the water os very nice. I'm pretty sure LHI has a consistent temperature throughout the year. So i can't answer fully sorry. Hope you enjoy your holiday.

Is it this beach where you can see turtles in the water? Or do you have to go out in the glass bottom boat to snorkel to see them?
What is the best way to ensure I see turtles swimming?
