Sea Turtle Program

Four species of sea turtles use South Florida's beaches during the spring/summer months to lay and incubate their eggs until the hatchlings emerge 45 to 55 days later. This program, presented by Sea Turtle Conservation staff from Nova Southeastern University, shares the mysterious life of sea turtles and their fight for survival, and ends with a beach-side release of hatchlings on Wednesday and Friday nights from July through September.  Reservations are required.  Call in advance.
