We here at the Tipsy Turtle are partial to our local reptile mothers who find our island to be their prime nursery, the vast majority of which are loggerhead sea turtles. Today is a special day to celebrate all loggerhead sea turtles. Read about them here:

Loggerhead sea turtles are endangered. We are hitting record numbers of nesting sites due to these changes. Please take a look and do what you can to keep our turtles tipsy!

With nest #5 found this morning, sea turtle nesting season is in full swing, but so is summer vacation. Check out these tips to keep the beach safe for our nesting turtles ➡️ Keep the beach clean, flat, and DARK!

Walking on the beach with only moonlight guiding you is a whole mood 🌖, but if you prefer to have a flashlight, please purchase lights that are certified for sea turtles. Recent studies have shown that simply adding red film does not change the wavelength of the light; it only masks the blue wavelength, so the turtles may still be disturbed by it.

We have certified turtle friendly lights for sale for $5.99 and $7.99 in our shop! Small and convenient to keep with you for those late night beach walks 😍🐢 stop by and pick up a few next time you're around or order one online! ⬇️ https://shoptybee.org/product-category/turtle-friendly-flashlight/
