Sea turtles are nocturnal, meaning they nest at night. Every now and then, however, we are treated with a daytime nesting turtle, offering us a wonderful opportunity to watch as she traverses the beach after having completed her nest. Alejandro shared this glimpse of a loggerhead sea turtle as she returns to the gulf on Bonita Beach. Notice that everyone stayed way back…as they should! Enjoy!
