BEACH DROP FOR SEA TURTLES
Your ticket supports the Sea Turtle Nest Protection Program in Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge
Conservation at the Shoreline
Join us for a special Beach Drop to the wild south end of Bulls Island in Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge where nearly half of South Carolina’s sea turtles nest! Led by Coastal Expeditions naturalists, you’ll walk the shoreline and learn how the Sea Turtle Patrol protects this vital nesting ground. It’s a family-friendly fundraiser with heart.
After the guided boat tour to the island and beachside demonstration, everyone is welcome to explore the beach on their own! It’s a great day to come to Bulls Island.
Highlight: Kids can participate in a demonstration nest where they learn how the sea turtle team inventories and moves a clutch of eggs.
