Happy World Sea Turtle Day! 🐢
Hilton Head Island’s Sea Turtle Season starts in May and lasts until October. The majority of nesting sea turtles that come to the island are Loggerheads, and most of them will return after journeying thousands of miles to lay nests on our beaches every few years. This includes sea turtles that actually hatch on the island, making it a pretty neat generational tradition!
