Lights Out 
White lights from flashlights, beachside hotels and houses scare and confuse adults and hatchlings.  From May until October there is an ordinance prohibiting lights on the beach.

Enjoy From A Distance  
If you see a turtle please stay back.  You may interfere with her natural nesting behavior.  Harassing a sea turtle violates federal and state laws.

Watch Where You Walk  
Erosion caused by walking on the dunes destroys the dunes for next year's turtles.

Do Not Leave Holes Or Large Sand Structures On The Beach
