Worth visiting!

only open to research volunteers during turtle nesting season

There are huge leatherback turtles (bigger than people) who use this protected area as their nesting grounds. Visit earthwatch.org if you want to find out how you can see this happening!

This picture is of a turtle nest that we excavated after all the hatchlings left to go to the ocean.
