Marco Island: Turtles, Urchins, shells and birds
If you are really lucky, you’ll get to see turtle tracks in the sand from the female coming onto the beach to lay her eggs. Wildlife conservation people drive up the beach each morning to find these tracks and mark the nests as above.
The best way to see things such as this is to go out walking early in the morning. Not only may you find some pretty shells, but also, if there are tide pools you may get to see some sneaky urchins hiding under shells
As well as shorebirds.
