Loras Turtle Nesting at Playa Ostional
Come to Playa Ostional to witness one of nature’s most rare creatures- the Lora turtle. Each season these majestic creatures lay between 80 and 100 eggs on the beach. They weigh in at over 100 pounds and are over 2.5 feet long. Unfortunately for these poor turtles, if the current rate of population decline doesn’t slow down or reverse, they might go extinct in the next 20 years. Fortunately for you, they still are easily viewable during the main season that is between May through February. It tends to peak in December where you can see hundreds of turtles during the night. Photographers aren’t allowed to take pictures at night so the tours can depart in the afternoon to give you the chance to see turtles during both the sunset and nighttime.
Note: no pictures may be taken after dark
