 | Description | Loggerhead Park, or the “turtle museum” as it is known in my family, is a sea turtle rehabilitation center. Turtles are housed in large tanks with see-through windows while they are treated for release back into the wild. It’s a fun photo op, especially when combined with one of the center’s turtle walks during sea turtle nesting season. Consider signing up for a turtle walk during nesting season (June and July) |
| Photography Advice | Take an intermediate telephoto. An infrared camera would be fun on the turtle walk, when flash and all other light sources are prohibited. |
| When to Go | Year Round; June-July for turtle walks |
| Species Photographed (2) | Green Sea Turtle, Loggerhead Sea Turtle |

October 24, 2009 - Dyeyo, Rich, and I visited Grandpa Dave in Juno Beach today. We couldn’t go so close to the Turtle Museum (officially named Loggerhead Park) without letting Rich get his turtle fix.
August 11, 2007 - When I was a kid visiting my grandparents in Juno Beach, we’d often go over to Loggerhead Park, the “Turtle Museum” across the street from my grandparents’ condo. So when I married a turtle freak, I told him all about the museum. We finally got to visit and Rich had a great time looking at […]
