Barrier Island Sanctuary

The turtle walk was great! This is our second time and we've been fortunate to actually be a part of two nestings. This time we actually saw two loggerheads coming up on shore while heading down to witness a third nesting. Although she was already covering her next by the time we arrived, it was still a cool experience. We also saw a "shooting star" over the ocean. Unfortunately due to others not being careful, you're no longer permitted to take pictures or video of the live action. Staff however does record everything with a night vision camera and then emails it to you within a few days.

Very informative place. I wasn't sure what the place was about so putting 'Turtle Sanctuary' in the title would have helped. The displays were small but nice and the film explaining the origin of the Sanctuary and the importance of the turtle population was excellent! The trails were also fun to walk.

Great educational displays. Lots to learn about area wildlife. Huge display about sea turtles. Would be a wonderful place to take young kids. There are nature trails & outdoor displays as well.

Very good place for a nature hike. I loved walking here with family as well as a class. There is a lot to learn here and gives us very good reasons to increase conservation efforts along these lines.
