Culebra Sea Turtle Hatchlings

7 Apr, 2008  5 Comments

Recently we had some guests visiting one of the beaches here on Culebra and while they were there a nest of about 60-100 sea turtle hatchlings decided to hatch and pursue their evolutionary path down towards the ocean.

I can tell you that the people who were lucky enough to witness this completely unexpected event went home from their Culebra vacation VERY happy.
