We are hitting the beach clubs in Unawatuna this weekend. Is it possible to responsibly see turtle hatchlings at night nearby without disturbing them.

Accepted Answer

Yes, but keep the partying and the wildlife completely separate. Loud music and lights disorient turtles. Head down to the Habaraduwa Turtle Hatchery during the day, or take a guided, quiet night trip to Rekawa beach further down the coast. Never use phone flashes on the beach at night as it confuses the hatchlings trying to find the ocean.
