THINGS TO DO 
Loggerhead Marinelife Center

 

Who says one person cannot make a difference!  Over 25 years ago, long-time Juno Beach resident Eleanor Fletcher started what is  now Loggerhead Marinelife Center. Eleanor and her husband Robert had a real estate business in Juno Beach. Eleanor began to notice the abundance of sea turtles nesting on our shore in spring and summer. She was curious about why so many hatchlings headed landward after hatching, rather than back to sea, and as a result, began some of the earliest research on sea turtles in our area. Juno Beach is now recognized as one of the most active nesting beaches in the world! Eleanor became known as "The Turtle Lady" throughout the area.

 

In 1983 the Children's Museum of Juno Beach was incorporated, moving into what had been an old home in Loggerhead Park.  In April 2007, the organization relocated to a new 12,000 square foot certified "green" facility and changed its name to Loggerhead Marinelife Center. The new facility includes a state-of-the-art full service veterinary hospital, exhibit hall, outdoor classroom, research lab, and resource center. A visit is not complete without a stop in the marine-themed gift store, featuring an excellent selection of children's educational books and unique gift and craft items. Park amenities include a guarded beach, nature trail, playground and picnic pavilions.

The center now hosts thousands of school children each year through field trips, outreach programs, summer camp and other educational experiences. In addition, more than 200,000 visitors come to the center each year to see the exhibits and the sea turtle hospital - the only sea turtle hospital between Orlando and the Florida Keys!
