Sea Turtles on Jekyll Island

Did you know that temperature effects the gender outcome of baby turtles? Warm nests result in more females while warm ones lead to more male turtles. Crazy, right? We learned all kinds of cool information about sea turtles during our visit to the Georgia Sea Turtle Center.

In addition to getting to visit the turtles, there is a wonderful educational space with loads of interactive activities for visitors to learn all about these archaic sea creatures. The various species of turtles, what they eat, how hard it is for these guys to survive...TONS of awesome information.

Know before you go:

• Due to COVID, they are operating at limited capacity.

• Be prepared to wait a bit

• Plan to spend at least an hour enjoying all the information and turtle

• Pick up souvenirs in the on-site gift shop!
