Sea Turtle Nesting Season

Olive Ridley sea turtles nest on Sayulita beach from June through November. Volunteers patrol the sand from midnight searching for nesting females, then relocate eggs to a protected hatchery at the north end of the beach. The camp at the end of Calle Pelicanos welcomes visitors who want to learn about the program. Nest adoptions cost around $500 MXN.
