Sea Turtle Season Begins April 1

Sea turtle season in Miami Beach runs from April 1 through October 31.

Our beach is a crucial nesting habitat for sea turtles. As sea turtle hatchlings make their way from sand to sea, the stark contrast between the darker dunes and the reflection of the moon over the ocean helps them determine where to go.

Artificial lighting near beaches presents a significant hazard by confusing sea turtles and leading them to mistakenly crawl toward the artificial lights instead of heading to the ocean. Turn off the lights to help keep sea turtles safe!

Do not disturb or touch nesting sea turtles or hatchlings. Report any disturbances or lost turtles to MyFWC Florida Fish and Wildlife at 1.888.404.3922, to Miami-Dade County Government at 305.310.3046 or to Miami Beach PD at 305.673.7900. Let's protect our beach ecosystem together!

Balloon-Free Miami Beach

Did you know that sea turtles, fish and birds mistake fallen balloons for food? Help keep our ocean and Biscayne Bay balloon-free while protecting our Miami Beach ecosystem! Balloons are prohibited in public marinas, parks and beaches.

Environmentally friendly decor alternatives include: paper garlands, banners, streamers, flowers, pompoms, pinwheels, bubble-blowing solution and kites.

Fines range from an educational warning to a $100 civil fine for each balloon up to $1,000 for the first violation. Fines increase for repeated violations within the prior 12 months.

If you ever find yourself asking, “Am I okay to drive?” the answer is always NO.
