Join Sea Turtle Oversight Protection (S.T.O.P.) for a night of education and fun! We'll share a presentation about sea turtles, their habitats, threats they face and the species that call Florida's east coast home. Each person will assemble their very own "Turtle View" card and the group hit the sand for a guided beach walk. During the walk, staff will explain how & why nests are protected, about their incubation cycle and what commonly happens to the hatchlings on a densely urbanized beach like Fort Lauderdale. We’ll discuss hatchling disorientation due to artificial lights, why this occurs and what S.T.O.P is doing to make a difference. After the beach walk, guests have the option to participate in a photo scavenger hunt and earn prizes.
Important Note: There is no promise or guarantee that you will see hatchings. Based on our 2025 permit conditions, the group is not allowed to visit or sit near nests that may hatch. Our goal is to educate and inspire you during your time with us and ensure a fulfilling experience. If you are fortunate enough to witness these amazing animals, it will be something that you will never forget.
100% of the proceeds help us fund our rescue operations. Turtle Talk & Beach Walks take place in the evenings in August & September.
Space is limited. Reservations are required.
$20 per person, regardless of age.
