South Padre Island is a special destination for experiencing sea turtles, including the endangered Kemp’s ridley sea turtle. During nesting season, visitors may spot turtles along the shoreline or see hatchlings make their way to the ocean.

A visit to Sea Turtle, Inc. offers a closer look at these incredible animals, with opportunities to learn about rescue, rehabilitation, and conservation efforts. It’s a meaningful experience that highlights the island’s commitment to protecting marine life.
