As we head into New Year's weekend, it's a time to reflect on the year that has passed. It's been a year of setbacks, change, resilience, progress, and hard work. 2024 will be a new beginning, a new location, and a time to focus on the future and serving our customers again. We're excited to get back to what we do best: serving you the world's best breakfast! See you soon!

Sea turtle nesting: Complete ✅

Sanibel and Captiva’s record-setting loggerhead nesting season has come to a close! Our last sea turtle nest was inventoried on Oct. 13, iconically right by the Sanibel Lighthouse. 💚

This year, we had a record total 1,177 loggerhead nests, as well as 24 green sea turtle nests (about average for the islands). 27,368 hatchlings emerged into the Gulf!

Sanibel and Captiva’s nest numbers contribute just a tiny percentage of total nests in Florida — for example, MyFWC Florida Fish and Wildlife reported that 133,941 loggerhead nests were laid so far this year (another record)!

Thanks to all our staff, interns, and volunteers who worked tirelessly through the heat, bugs, sweat, and pain to protect and monitor sea turtles this season. We’re already looking forward to next year. 🐢
