- Sea Turtle nesting season in Florida is between March and October. White light flashlights should not be used on the beach during these months. If needing a light you can use turtle safe lights such as red-light. Also during these months you cannot dig in dry sand. Click HERE to learn more at FloridaStateParks.org.
- Florida sea turtle nesting numbers were record-breaking in 2023: 76,645 green sea turtle nests were counted in Florida; State-wide statistics from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) counted 133,941 loggerhead sea turtle nests.
