Sea Turtle Facts
South Walton’s sugar-white sand beaches are a big draw for visitors, but they’re also home to some of the area’s tiniest residents. During the months of May through October, endangered sea turtles build nests in that sand, and need the help and consideration of human beachgoers in order to thrive and survive.
Sea turtles are protected by the Endangered Species Act.
Loggerhead and Green Sea Turtles typically nest on our beaches.
Nesting season is May 1–Oct. 31.
Hatchlings are guided to the Gulf by the moon. White lights confuse them.
The temperature of the sand determines the sex of the hatchlings.
Sea turtles return to the beach where they were born to lay their eggs.
Mama sea turtles lay about 100 eggs in a nest and tend to lay 3–5 nests.
In 2021, 624 hatchlings made it to the Gulf in Walton County.
Call *FWC or 850-865-4503 if you see a sea turtle.
