The St. Croix Sea Turtle Project

Turtle Tracks and Shells Join us for a 2-hour beach walk adventure to discover and identify sea turtle tracks and seashells on the beach. Start your adventure at our pavilion to comb through our seashell collection and identify sea turtle shells. Migrate out to the beach to spot sea turtle tracks and seashells. Make discoveries during a scavenger hunt, learn about the unique beach habitat that supports nesting sea turtles, and uncover the importance of leaving paradise in its place. Offered on Saturday mornings in May, and on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday mornings in June and July.

Applications should be submitted online. For the May program, sign up here – open until 20 April or when the program is full.

We look forward to seeing you at Sandy Point. Please email sandypoint.turtlewatch @ gmail.com if you have questions, please allow 3 business days for a response.
