Waties Island Sea Turtles

Waties Island, the northernmost barrier island in South Carolina is roughly 4.0 km in length. It is a private undeveloped barrier island at the border of North/South Carolina. All sea turtle monitoring by this group is authorized by the SCDNR Marine Turtle Conservation Program under Permit MTP500. We strive to help protect the sea turtle, and we are at it again this season! The site will be updated often during the nesting season - May 1st through October.

NO CRAWLS TODAY BUT IT WAS A GOOD MORNING TO WALK

The moon was setting

at the same time the sun was rising this morning over Waties Island as we were making our way to the beach.

And it was windy when we got there.

Saw this big hole blown into the dune below mm#2.

Found this egg rolling in the surf at Hoggs Inlet.

This guy is not a Blue or a Ghost Crab, but he was enjoying the water.

The crab that dug this hole sure could fling the sand!
