NEVER PUSH OR ATTEMPT TO ASSIST STRANDED ANIMALS BACK TO THE WATER! More harm can be done and it is illegal without proper permits. 

Please…Leave No Trace.

You can help our nesting sea turtles and their habitat as well as baby hatchlings by following Walton County’s Leave No Trace Ordinance. By removing all belongings, chairs, umbrellas, tents, toys, trash, from the beach each day, you’re helping our sea turtles survive and find their way back to their marine habitat safely. Whatever you carry in, please carry it out. For more information on the ordinance go to:
