Green Turtle Nesting

Every year after July hundreds of green turtles come to this safe sandy beach at night. They dig up a sandy beach to lay their eggs and then leave.
After two months, the silence on the beach is broken by the hatching eggs and the newly born turtles slowly return to the sea.
Daran Tak, Shaheed Tak, Deedlo Tak and Picnic Point are four beaches that are separated by steel cliffs and are guarded by local community members who are paid by WWF.
