When is the best time to go to Jensen?

Jensen, Queensland, Australia is a fantastic destination to visit all year round, but the best time to go depends on your preferences for weather and activities. For those who prefer warm, sunny weather and calmer seas, the dry season from May to October is ideal. Temperatures during this period range from a pleasant 20°C to 28°C, with low humidity and minimal rainfall. This makes it great for enjoying the beaches, snorkelling, diving, and exploring the national parks without the heat and humidity of summer. If you don't mind warmer temperatures and occasional rain showers, the wet season from November to April offers lush green landscapes and fewer crowds. While there can be heavy rainfall, it often comes in short, intense bursts, leaving plenty of sunshine in between. This period is particularly good for experiencing the rainforests at their most vibrant, with waterfalls flowing strongly. However, it's also stinger season, so swimming in the ocean requires protective stinger suits. Ultimately, both seasons offer unique benefits.

Top Jensen Hotel Reviews

Madison Ocean Breeze

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff"

Waters Edge The Strand

10/10 Excellent

"As per usual, it was a marvellous day at Waters edge.. this was our fifth day and loved it just as much as prior. Just one note there was a renovation going on in the room directly above us. Which was a little unnerving at night.. Other than that small hiccough the stay was perfect and we will be back. Very easy parking and the room was fabulously clean. A beautiful lady who was the cleaner said she’d been working there for 12 years and was a delight to talk to and assist us. Thank you once again"
