Turtle Walks With The Loggerhead Marinelife Center
This Saturday marks the first summer Turtle Walk hosted by the Loggerhead Marinelife Center. The Turtle Walk is a unique program that allows visitors to observe and learn about the nesting and egg laying process of sea turtles that nest along the shores of Juno Beach.
The night is designated to a special section of the beach where the sea turtle nests are. Guests who attend will receive a brief presentation on the sea turtles and get to experience an after-hour tour to view the turtles housed in the Loggerhead Marinelife Center. Once a loggerhead sea turtle is found on the beach and begins the egg laying process, the group is led down to the beach by Marinelife staff to witness the process.
Turtle Walks are $20 dollars for non-members and $18 dollars for members. All who wish to attend must be registered online to reserve their spot. The State of Florida issues a permit requirement for the Turtle Walks and is limited to 30 people per night.
The next Turtle Walk is this Saturday, June 1st. The Turtle Walks are hosted almost every night throughout June and July. The Turtle Walk starts at 9 pm and children must be 8 years old or older to attend.
