Sea Turtle Encounters in Melbourne
What you need to know before you go

The twenty mile section of coastline from Melbourne Beach to Wabasso Beach is the most important nesting area for loggerhead sea turtles in the western hemisphere -- 25% percent of all loggerhead sea turtle and 35% of all green sea turtle nests in the United States occur in this twenty mile zone.

Several nature centers around Florida are licensed to offer sea turtle watches during nesting season -- allowing you to get up close to the turtles during early morning or evening walks.
