⚠️ Turtle Nesting ⚠️

Sea Turtles have been observed nesting along the strand in recent weeks. To help protect nesting turtles and emerging hatchlings please follow these guidelines.

Nesting (Nov–Mar)
✋If you see a nesting turtle, keep your distance
🔦No bright lights — torches, phones, and movement can cause turtles to abandon nesting
👀While she is digging and laying, watch from behind, staying still and quiet
🐢As she returns to the ocean, lights off and give her space

Hatchlings (mid-Jan–late Mar)
✋Keep clear of the nest — do not obstruct their path
🔦Lights off at all times — light disorients hatchlings
🚫DOGS ARE PROHIBITED ON ALL STRAND BEACHES
🤲Never handle hatchlings — interference affects their survival

Protecting turtles starts with giving them space.
