Sea Turtle Nesting Season Runs Annually from March 1 through October 31
Spring and summer bring nesting sea turtles to Broward County's beaches to lay their nests. Local lighting ordinances also go into effect during sea turtle nesting season. Broward County's Beach and Marine Resources Section implements a Sea Turtle Conservation Program, which monitors 24 miles of beaches for sea turtle activity and marks each nest. Help protect our local sea turtles by giving them plenty of space on the beach, do not touch, and refrain from using flashlights and cell phones on the beach at night. Visit our
sea turtle page to learn more!
