"Sea Turtles!!"

A must see for turtle lovers!  The Marinelife Center is a free place to visit but they do encourage donations.  They have pools set up with turtles that have been rescued.  You can see their names and go online to track their progress and release back to the wild.  It's very small so not a lot to see but worth a look if you are in the area and especially if you like sea turtles.  There is also a parking area in the back where you can walk to the ocean and see all the sea turtle nests they have marked.

"Amazing turtles!!!"

I live close by and this places rehabilitated injured turtles . Our kids loooove coming here. They have a museum type exibit inside , then you go out side to see lots of turtles in their "pools". Very fun to see the turtles so close up bcuz the pools have windows and you can say hi to the turtles.

"Fun with the Family"

Loggerhead Beach has the most to offer among the local beaches. Across the street from the beach access, a nicely groomed park offers tennis, picnicking, a playground area, and the Marinelife Center of Juno Beach. The latter introduces you to maritime fauna and flora with a nature trail and indoor displays on shells, crabs, sharks, and sea turtles. During turtle nesting season (June and July), the center conducts nighttime
Turtle Walks. In May, it hosts Turtle Time Festival on the beach to promote conservation, with music, food, and children’s entertainment.
