Palm Beach County is renowned for its vibrant beaches that lead the nation in sea turtle nest density. Every year, from March to October, these majestic creatures visit The Palm Beaches to nest, with approximately 2,000,000 hatchlings produced annually. The region is home to three sea turtle species: the loggerhead, leatherback, and green turtle.

Sea turtles, which have roamed the earth's oceans for over 110 million years, possess fascinating traits like using their beak-like mouths to grasp food and "wearing" their shell, which comprises more than 50 fused bones. These resilient reptiles can hold their breath for up to five hours, utilize the Earth's magnetic field for navigation, and always return to the beach where they hatched to lay their own eggs. To discover more about these incredible creatures, explore the Loggerhead Marinelife Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to conserving ocean ecosystems and protecting threatened sea turtles.
