To watch sea turtles crawl out from under the sand and make their way out to sea is on my bucket list! I am so jealous!!
Rene- It was such a cool experience and totally by accident. My sister and I were walking along this deserted beach in Mexico and stumbled upon a bunch of recently hatched baby turtles making their way out to sea. They were so cute and tiny! They were a little awkward with their flippers on the sand but once they made it to the water they were off.
I've been lucky enough to watch sea turtles lay their eggs on the beach and to see a nest hatch. There really is nothing like watching either event, and the babies are just so cute!
