Culebra Sea Turtle Hatchlings
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.

Oh my god, they’re so cute!! Weren’t you tempted to pick one up and keep it for a few days? Yeah, I know, that would’ve been a no-no for Mother Nature. :)
