When to visit

The best time to visit Fingal is during the summer months from December to February when the weather is warm and perfect for beach activities. However, spring and autumn also offer pleasant weather with fewer crowds. Winter, from June to August, can be chilly but is a great time for whale watching along the coast.

Getting around

Getting around Fingal is best done by car, as public transportation options are limited. Rental cars are available at nearby airports and in the town itself. Biking and walking are also popular ways to explore the area, especially along the coastal trails. Taxis and rideshare services are available for shorter distances.

Traveller tips

Make sure to pack sunscreen and a hat, as the Australian sun can be strong even on cloudy days. Be sure to check for any beach closures or warnings before swimming, as some areas may have strong currents. Don't forget to try some of the local seafood, as Fingal is known for its fresh fish and chips. Respect the local wildlife and follow any guidelines for interacting with animals. Lastly, be prepared for changeable weather conditions and pack layers for your trip.
