Turtles

Several of the beaches along Speightstown's coast are turtle nesting beaches, so if you're visiting at the right time you might spot a turtle nesting or hatchlings making their way to the sea! Hawksbill turtles typically nest between May and October, however, nesting has been documented throughout the year. The nesting season for leatherback turtles is between February and July. Hatchlings are born after a 60 day incubation period.
