Playa La Barqueta Turtle Preservation and Releases

On site at Playa La Barqueta is a Turtle preservation. A local advocate for the turtles, Marciel, has taken it upon himself to help and protect the local turtles from poachers and natural predators. He has a pen on site at his family restaurant and ocean bar that you can witness first hand how he is single handily helping the turtles thrive at this location. If you are lucky there may be a release on site and you can witness how the small turtles make their way to the ocean to begin a new life. This is a once in a life time experience and gives you a sense of comfort to see there is someone out there helping these sea creatures thrive.
