Beach Description
The purpose of the Holden Beach Turtle Watch Program is to protect threatened and endangered sea turtles from extinction by educating visitors to our beach, by providing a sanctuary and safe environment for nesting turtles and hatchlings, and by aiding stranded turtles. The entire ocean-facing length of Holden Beach is patrolled daily in the early morning, looking for fresh turtle crawls. All nests are marked and protected during incubation, and during emergence the hatchlings are provided safe passage to the ocean.
