A South Padre Island Sea Turtle Experience
Not only is South Padre Island an ideal beach destination with long stretches of sand, oceanfront restaurants, and breezy accommodations, but there are also several opportunities for enjoying the region’s wildlife. Whether you’re a regular wildlife watcher or you simply want to see a different side of South Padre, observing some of the area’s wildlife can be a great way to spend the afternoon.
At Sea Turtle Inc, sick and injured sea turtles are cared for, rehabilitated, and released when possible, although they also house several non-releasable turtles, terrapins, and tortoises that cannot survive in the wild and are used to educate visitors. Rehabilitating 40-100 turtles per year for release, Sea Turtle Inc plays an important part in maintaining the health of these interesting creatures in South Padre Island. Visitors can learn more about the work they are doing to help sea turtles, as well as view some of their resident turtles such as Alison, the first sea turtle in the world to use a prosthetic flipper! While visitors cannot touch or feed the sea turtles, they can observe them eating and interacting during scheduled feedings.
A favorite of visitors and locals alike is to attend a hatchling release, where newly hatched baby sea turtles make their way from the sand down to the ocean. This happens during mid-June to early August, depending on when the females begin nesting. Attending a hatchling release along the beach at dawn is certainly a memorable way to start your morning in South Padre Island! With a long-term stay in South Padre Island, it’s even possible to become a volunteer at Sea Turtle Inc with a minimum commitment of three months.
