Our First Night Walk of the Season was a SUCCESS!

We had a very fun and successful first night walk of the season! After our 30-minute presentation on the loggerhead sea turtle, we proceeded to walk the beach in anticipation of seeing a nesting adult. We walked half a mile down the beach and a turtle was already ashore digging her egg chamber. We patiently waited until she was at a safe stage to view her. We then got to get a closer look and even see the eggs drop! The following morning we found her nest and moved it to a safer location as she laid her nest below the Spring high tide line. There were 114 eggs to move! This nest is now marked as nest 69 on our beach! In 45-60 days the hatchlings will emerge and make their way to the ocean!

**If you are out on the beach on your own, please give her 20ft, to avoid any disturbance and the risk of causing her to false crawl. However, if you come on one of our night walks, you have the opportunity of getting a closer look as we are permitted to do so!
