Alagadi Turtle Beach
Turtle Watching in North Cyprus
Can you imagine a sight more heart warming than watching baby turtles, newly hatched from their little eggs, running towards the wavy seas as they face their new life?  This is a common occurrence that you can take part in to watch in certain beaches in North Cyprus. The mother turtle will typically come to shore in the middle of the night to lay her eggs, after she has left her 20th birthday behind and is mature enough to mate. The mother turtle visits the North Cyprus shores during the spring month of May to furiously dig down a 40cm deep hole in the sand, where she hide her eggs and keep them protected with a covering of the cool sand until July. The mother turtle’s job is now complete until the baby turtles hatch in July, where they have been developing amidst the cool sands where air is trapped.
The cache is a black canister with an orange lid and contains log book & pencil, ball yoyo, sticker and Australian Koala and TB Smiley.
