Join our turtle scouts and wildlife educators at the Hobe Sound Nature Center for our FWC-permitted, guided turtle walks and experience one of nature’s most magical events. This educational experience is hosted on Thursday and Friday evenings during the months of June and July (excluding July 3 & 4), 2025. Our turtle walks begin in the museum at the Hobe Sound Nature Center at 8:00 p.m. for registered guests, followed by a short presentation about sea turtle natural history and conservation. After the presentation, everyone will convene at the Hobe Sound Public Beach, where our expert guides will take you on a magical nighttime journey to witness a mother loggerhead build her nest, lay her eggs, and return to the sea. A walk will be suspended no later than midnight if no turtles are identified. For more information, see the FAQs at the bottom of this page.

Spaces are limited! Online registration and a non-refundable a fee of $20* is required for each participant age 3 and above. *Fees are used to support HSNC environmental education and interpretive programs.

Guided sea turtle walks are fully booked for 2025. Join our wait list to be notified of cancellations in the event of an opening.
