Lights Out for Sea Turtles: May-October |  |
Some of our most famous visitors have arrived for the summer! Loggerhead Sea Turtles are in the waters around the Isle of Palms and crawling on the beach at night to nest. City ordinances require that lights facing the beach be turned off to prevent the turtles from losing their way during nesting or hatching. Thank you! |
