learn about sea turtles at kuta

There are two major turtle conservation sites on the island that are free to visit, and one happens to be in a convenient spot in Kuta Beach. The Bali Sea Turtle Society (BSTS) has a conservation centre right next to the Balawista lifeguard tower and the Headquarters Beach Club. The conservation centre has a huge nursery in the shape of a giant sea turtle, which contains a sand bed with clusters of eggs rescued from contiguous nesting sites, in order to protect them from natural predators and human beach activities. Consider yourself lucky when they release hatchlings out to sea – you can freely participate!
