I am really good at doing nothing at the beach!!🏖️

A lot of people don’t understand beach days because they think nothing is happening. No schedule. No rushing around.

No nonstop noise. Just sitting in a chair listening to waves for hours. But honestly, that’s the whole point. 🌊☀️

Somewhere along the way, people forgot life wasn’t supposed to feel rushed every second of the day.

We were meant to slow down sometimes. To watch sunsets, feel warm ocean air, hear waves crashing, and let our minds finally breathe for a little while.

The beach has a way of resetting you without even trying. No pressure, no distractions, no expectations. Just peace. And sometimes doing “nothing” for a few hours ends up doing more for your soul than anything else all week.

That quiet feeling sitting near the ocean is hard to explain unless you’ve experienced it yourself. 🌴

📈 May Nesting Totals 📈

May ended with 14 sea turtle nests documented along Alabama’s Gulf Coast, including 13 Loggerhead nests and 1 Kemp’s Ridley nest.

We also recorded 13 false crawls this month—evidence that our nesting moms are busy checking out Alabama’s beaches! If you happen to see a sea turtle on the beach, remember to keep your distance, stay low, and never use white lights or flash photography. Please report all nesting, injured, or distressed sea turtles by calling 866-Sea-Turtle (866-732-8878).

Thank you to everyone helping us monitor and protect sea turtles during nesting season. 🐢💙

Here’s to a busy and successful nesting season ahead!

From a tiny fertilized egg to a hatchling making its way to the Gulf — every sea turtle journey begins in the sand. 🐢💙

Keeping our beaches clean, dark, and flat helps give these incredible animals the best chance at survival.
