Sea Turtle Nesting Trip

A few weeks ago, we went down to Melbourne Beach, Fl (about 4 hours south of Fernandina Beach) with Heather and Brian, the sea turtle Extraordinare, to observe the nesting sea turtles. It was a pretty amazing experience. We were able to see them come up the beach, nest, and then head back to the water. We must have seen a few dozen in just a a couple hours. Melbourne Beach is a nesting hotspot! All the sea turtles we saw were loggerhead turtles, but green and leatherback turtles also nest there. We also stumbled across this great little hotel on the beach. We will definitely be back!
