A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER

John Lakich

Special notice: Dredging of the St. Lucie Inlet has been completed and dredge equipment removed from the island.

Spring is the start of sea turtle nesting season. Although there have been turtles nest as early as February, the months of March and April are more common for the giant of sea turtles to begin nesting. These are the leatherback sea turtles. In April, the loggerhead sea turtles begin to nest and finally the green sea turtles.
 
There is no better place to slow down and enjoy the rhythm of life than in "…the Real Florida."
 
Note: Tram service to the beach operates every weekend and state holidays 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
