One of nature’s miraculous events is the arrival of thousands of turtles on this beach every few weeks from July to November. These amphibians lumber out of the surf to lay their eggs in such numbers that the beach can look like a rocky shore.
A conservation deal with the locals allows them to collect eggs from the first batches, as long as they protect the later ones.
