The best time to go to Lemon Tree Passage is during the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November).These periods offer pleasant weather, with comfortable temperatures ranging from the low 20s to mid-20s Celsius, making it ideal for outdoor activities like exploring the coastline or enjoying a boat trip. You'll also find that the area is less crowded than during the peak summer months, allowing for a more relaxed experience.For those looking to enjoy water-based activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, or swimming, the warmer waters of late spring and early autumn are particularly inviting. The tranquil waters of Port Stephens are superb for these pursuits.While summer (December to February) is popular for its hot weather and school holidays, it can be quite busy, and accommodation prices might be higher.
