Turtle Head Location

-10.5167, 142.2167

-10.51670, 142.21670 View on OpenStreetMap →

Turtle Head sits at -10.5167°N, 142.2167°E, on the coast of Queensland, Australia. The marker on the map shows the spot the readings on this page come from. It usually sits a short distance from the town centre, out on the open water itself, so the numbers stay tied to the coast rather than a generic point inland.

Coastlines bend, headlands focus the water, and the temperature can run noticeably differently between two beaches that look close together on a map. Comparing nearby locations is a quick way to see how local geography is shaping the readings.
