Sea Turtles Hatch in Atlantic Beach!

There are many great reasons to call Jacksonville, FL home. We have great nightlife and places to eat and have an adult beverage. We have great museums, and public parks. We have a great climate that allows year round outdoor activities, including golf, tennis, boating, fishing, walking and jogging etc. But one of the very cool things that happens every year at the beaches is that loggerhead sea turtles migrate here to lay their eggs and then leave. Just like they have for thousands of years. There are some great volunteers who keep an eye out on these nests and mark them so that they do not get trampled by visitors to our gorgeous beaches. They monitor the nests and when the hatching begins monitor the babies and help them back to the sea!

This year this amazing event was caught on video by a colleague of mine and she was kind enough to share this heart warming and amazing event. So I thought I would share it with all of you. I know this is not real estate related but thought that it was really cool and something that is specific to our area.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
