As you sit and relax enjoy the beauty of Coconut Beach and Coconut Point you will see the local population of green turtles just meters from the sand and during egg laying season you may witness either the birthing mothers coming up the beach between Coconut Point and Plantations Beach or if your timing is perfect the babies making the dash into the surf to commence their ocean lives. (Turtle nesting season is between November to May and peak hatching season is February to April)
