Default Turtle nest
I have just heard that a sea turtle of unknown type came ashore at midnight last night on the main tourist beach at Cabarete and laid its eggs. This hasn't happened for a long time and glad to say they have 2 armed guards protecting it atm. Don't know what they will do but it will probably be best if they dig the eggs up and take them to a hatchery or a beach in a nature reserve. Makes your heart sing!

Cassie,
That is such great news! If you ever find out what type of turtle it was, please share. Hope the eggs are fertile, and if you get a chance, thank the guards.

Oh that's so exciting. Must have been exhilarating for the person that witnessed it! Boy that would sure be something to see.

ive never seen the nesting of turtles, only on the national geographic channel. i would be the one out on the beach trying to keep the gull from eating them. i love anything affiliated with the ocean. i could see a bunch of us on the beach screamin, "hurry, hurry, run forrest run!"...sorry. LOL!

it was a leatherback turtle about 5ft long - we are all waiting to see what happens to the eggs - I think they have to be moved elsewhere.

That's awesome. In Grand Cayman, they have a huge turtle farm for breeding sea turtles. It was amazing visiting it and seeing turtles of all sizes. I hope those turtle eggs all hatch.
