About our sea turtles and nesting on South Florida beaches

Sea turtle nesting season is here, if you are heading out to the beaches, please pay attention to nesting areas, they will be ropped off and clearly marked, avoid getting near these areas or trampling on the eggs!

Sea turtles nest mostly after dark, females emerge from the water in search for a spot to lay their eggs. They need their peace and quiet, give them a wide berth.

It is against the law to disturb turtles, nesting or otherwise, their eggs and their hatchlings!

You can learn more about sea turtles and how they nest.

Labor Day - a Public Holiday - Monday, September 3, 2018

This is a public holiday celebrated every year on the first Monday in September dedicated to all workers in the country and their contributions to society.

This is the same as the International Worker's Day celebrated in other countries around the world on May 1.

Labor Day is the "unofficial" end of the summer vacation season, while Memorial Day in May marks its beginning.

Federal government offices are closed on Labor Day.

Closed

Government Offices
Schools
Post Offices
Banks
Public Libraries

Open

Shopping centers and malls
Grocery Stores
Restaurants
Federal, State, Regional Parks
Public Transportation (check for special holiday schedules)

Labor Day is different from most public holidays in that it is not imbued with traditions and customs and is for most merely a wonderful extra day off offering a welcomed three-day weekend to sort of bid farewell to the scorching days of summer.

So take advantage of the long weekend doing as much or as little as your heart desires. Whether relaxing by the beach, exploring the city's attractions, catching a game or two or getting out of town, there's always something for everyone with many events throughout the city.

Here's what's happening this Labor Day in Miami as well as some popular see's and do's to take advantage of the long weekend!

Sea Turtle Nesting and Release Program

This is a fantastic program conducted by Miami Dade Parks which aims to educate the public about the plight of the sea turtles.

Our beaches are one of the largest nesting grounds for sea turtles every year. Nesting and hatching season is from May through October, when the parks are actively engaged in protecting them.

Come and learn about their activities, the life of the turtles, the constant threats, and then come out to the beach and watch the hatchlings as they are released and quickly dash across the sand and into the ocean.

Here's more on the Endangered Sea Turtle and the Turtle Awareness Program.

When? Wednesdays (at Haulover Park) and Fridays (at Crandon Park) from mid-July to September - 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm Hatchling release to begin in mid-July.

Where? Crandon Park Visitors and Nature Center and Haulover Park
