Have you spotted a sea turtle on the beach and want to observe her nesting? An unforgettable experience! To make sure you don’t disturb the turtle, please follow these simple but very important rules:

No light on turtles!

• Never use white light  – no flashlights or phone lights!
• Also no “red light” from a phone screen – this also disturbs turtles.
• Only special certified red-light headlamps are allowed, and even these must never be pointed directly at a turtle.
• Why? If a turtle is exposed to light, she may abandon the nesting process and return to the sea. In the worst case, she might lay her eggs in the water = no reproduction.

No flash, no photos, no selfies!

• Never take photos with flash!
• Turtle nesting sites are not photo spots – they are places that need protection.
• Better: Watch quietly and enjoy the moment. You’ll never forget it.

Keep your distance!

• Stay at least 2 meters away!
• Never approach from the front – only from behind.
• Never touch or block a turtle.
• Don’t interfere, even if the turtle seems “helpless” – she knows what she’s doing.

Other important notes

• Our camp is not open to the public  – please respect this and do not enter!
• The hatchery must never be entered  under any circumstances – please follow the signs.
• Again: no lights here either.
• Never drive quads, motorbikes, or cars on the beach – they destroys the nests!
