Turtle Talks at The Dunes House
Interested in learning more about sea turtles and how you can help? Starting Wednesday, June 5 through August 21st, Palmetto Dunes Cares will host a weekly Turtle Talk, led by a member of the Sea Turtle Patrol of Hilton Head. The talk will educate participants on what they can do to help preserve Hilton Head Island’s hatching sea turtles and learn what is happening on our nesting beach.
The program, designed for both visitors and residents, is fun, educational, and appropriate for all ages. The cost to attend is $20 per person (adults and children) and all children under the age of 12 require adult supervision. The Turtle Talks will be held on the beach at the Dunes House from 8-9 PM. Online registration is required and this event sells out every week!
