Lady Elliot Girls Swimsuit

Lady Elliot Island, the southernmost coral cay of the Great Barrier Reef and nesting site of the loggerhead turtle, is the kind of place that most people can only dream of visiting… let us take you there to spot the loggerhead turtle hatchlings (just like the ones featured on this pattern!) as they scurry down the sand and into the beautiful lagoon that surrounds this magnificent jewel off the coast of Bargara, home of Tribe Tropical.

10% of all direct sales of this print will be donated to the Mon Repos Turtle Centre.

The loggerhead turtle is an endangered species; successful breeding at Mon Repos is vital to their survival.

This beautiful swimsuit is designed with full-coverage across the back, chest and arms, and is double-layered for extra protection against harmful UV rays. The polyester-blend fabric is buttery-soft, durable for use in chlorine, and will keep precious skin well-protected without agitation.

The print features loggerhead turtle hatchlings amidst Great Barrier Reef coral, and has a light blue background. Also available with a matching wide-brimmed hat.

The Lady Elliot Swimsuit is available for girls ages 1-8. (Please see baby suits for sizes 1-2)

This print is also available for boys, allowing brothers and sisters to match in sun-safe style – see our Bargara Board Shorts and Mon Repos Rash Tops for further details.
