It’s sea turtle nesting season on Folly Beach! 🐢 Here are some tips for making sure that mama turtles and their eggs have the best chance of survival:
✨No lights are allowed that illuminate the front beach between sundown and sunrise from May 1st to October 31st.
✨Do not disturb a nesting sea turtle and observe her only from a distance
✨Do not shine lights on a sea turtle or take flash photography
✨Fill in large holes dug on the beach at the end of the day, as both adult and baby turtles can get trapped
✨If you see any adult sea turtles or hatchings, call 843-588-2433 to report your sighting
Every year, these incredible mama turtles return to our shores under the cover of darkness to lay their eggs, continuing a journey that spans thousands of miles and generations. Let's work together to keep them safe. 🌊🌙
