Join us for an evening at Wrightsville Beach Park
to learn about the nesting sea turtles at
Wrightsville Beach!
All ages are invited to attended this FREE
family fun event. You will see a real
sea turtle carapace and be able to
identify scutes. Learn about how
sea turtles come onto the beach and
lay their nest. Also how the hatchlings
use a temporary tooth called a caruncle
to tear open the egg. Then how the
hatchlings imprint onto the sand setting
their internal compass so hopefully they
will return to our beach to lay their own
nests one day!
