Sea Turtles

Anguilla's sea turtles are a prized national resource. You may be lucky and see a mother turtle laying her eggs on one of our many beaches or hatchlings making their way to the sea. The Sea Turtles of Anguilla travel throughout the Caribbean for almost 30 years before they are mature enough to lay their eggs. Then, like weary travelers coming home, the mother turtle struggles back to her birth place and with great effort, lays her eggs in a sandy hole she digs on the beach. After hours of birthing she covers her nest and returns to the sea.
