A Natural Wonder

The South Florida region participates in one of the most beautiful seasonal cycles, the annual birth of wild sea turtles. Tiny, precious, and endlessly adorable, the turtle hatchlings emerge from the sand between April and October yearly as they gently make their way into the awaiting Atlantic. And Acqualina forms an ideal location to experience this magic firsthand. Some 600 unique turtle nesting sites can be found in the greater Miami metropolitan area – including a choice handful at Acqualina. Heavily protected by both local laws, the nests can contain hundreds of eggs from which the hatchlings emerge – most of which are native loggerhead turtles. 

For guests eager to learn even more about these annual turtle rights-of-passage, please visit, The Sea Turtle Conservation of the City of Sunny Isles.

At Acqualina, we are deeply committed to the conservation of these magnificent creatures and actively engage in their protection through regular team training sessions dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of the sea turtles during their nesting season.
