What we do matters! We love our beach days, but so do turtles and other marine animals. Here are some tips to keep our beaches clean and safe so EVERYONE can enjoy the beach!

🐢 Give turtles plenty of space if you encounter one. If you see a nesting turtle or hatching turtle nest, do not disturb them and call your local wildlife rescue or conservation group, especially if you see signs of distress. If you see a hatchling struggling to get to the water, do not pick it up, as it needs to imprint on the sand to remember the beach as a nesting adult!

🗑️ Pick up and properly dispose of all trash to keep it from getting on the beach or in the water. Sea turtles are some of the most likely marine species to ingest plastic, which could injure and/or kill them.

🏖️ When you’re ready to leave the beach, make sure to take all chairs and umbrellas, fill in any holes, and knock down sand castles. Hatchlings and nesting turtles can run into these obstacles or fall into holes, which can cause injury or spook nesting turtles and prevent them from laying their eggs.

☀️ Make sure to leave the beach by sundown, as this is when turtles will most likely come up to nest and need a peaceful environment to lay their eggs and not get spooked, which can result in them fleeing and laying their eggs in the water.

💡 If you live near or on the beach, remember to turn off lights so that turtles do not confuse them with the moon, which they use to guide themselves to the sea. Leaving lights on can result in turtles going the wrong way and ending up on the road.

Sea Turtles Dig the Dark! 🌌🐢

It’s true! Sea turtles love the dark! You can help protect nesting sea turtles by keeping our beaches dark and peaceful at night.

Here are some ways you can make a difference:
🔺Close your beach-facing shades after 9 PM
🔺Turn off outdoor lights when not in use
🔺Use amber or red bulbs in outdoor fixtures and flashlights — their longer wavelengths are much less disruptive to sea turtles’ vision.

Every small action helps nesting sea turtles and hatchlings find their way home to the water! 🌊🐢

📞 If you spot a sea turtle on the beach, please call 1-866-SEA-TURTLE (866-732-8878)

We are currently in the midst of Hurricane Season, and we would like to remind all Gulf Shores residents to make sure they have a current (2023-2024) Hurricane Re-Entry Decal/Beach Parking Pass affixed to their car windshield.

🌀 In the event of an emergency where areas of Gulf Shores are evacuated, these decals serve to identify those who should be allowed into a restricted area(s) at the appropriate time.
🚗 These decals also serve as a parking pass to allow residents/property owners access to the RESIDENT ONLY parking area located at East Gulf Place, and free parking at all City of Gulf Shores paid public parking areas.
👮 All vehicles parked in the RESIDENT ONLY parking area must have a current decal PERMANENTLY affixed to the inside of the windshield on the driver's side of the vehicle. Vehicles parked in the Resident Only Parking area without a current decal directly affixed to the windshield, or those with an expired decal, will be subject to ticketing and/or towed. This includes vehicles with passes lying on the dashboard.

❗ If you did not receive your decals in the mail, you can pick them up year-round at City Hall and the Gulf Shores City Store. Proof of residency or property ownership and Driver's License for identification will be required in the form of a deed, lease, or utility bill that bears the street address of the property for which the decal is being purchased.

The first two decals are provided at no cost to residents/property owners. Up to three additional decals may be purchased for $5 each.
