It's officially Sea Turtle Nesting Season in SoWal! Our partners with South Walton Turtle Watch are asking all of us to work together to keep beaches CLEAN, DARK, and FLAT.
If you see a stranded, sick, injured, and/or distressed sea turtle, call the South Walton Turtle Watch Hotline at 850-865-4503. You can also alert the nearest lifeguard, who will have access to the hotline number as well.
Please remember, all species of marine turtles are protected by the Endangered Species Act. It is against the law to touch, harass, interfere, or interact with sea turtles without a permit. Leave the work of protecting our sea turtles to the professionals.
