The Texas Bucket List – Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle Release

During the peak of nesting season, sea turtle hatchlings propel their way across the sand to make their way into the deep blue sea. Down on the South Padre National Seashore, you can view this journey that begins their lives at an annual Kemp’s Ridley sea turtle release. The plucky spirit and — we admit it — cuteness of these baby sea turtles makes this well worth a stop on The Texas Bucket List!
