Turtle Point · our bay
Turtle Point, as people call our bay, is where wild sea turtles come to feed on the reef, often a few metres from the beach. Nobody keeps them here and nobody feeds them: they come because the bay is calm. We lend you a mask, and we ask you to be a good guest.
तैरने से पहले
अगर किस्मत साथ दे
Turtles often climb our beach at night to lay their eggs. It is one reason we keep our stretch of sand clean and as gentle a slope as the sea allows. On nesting nights we turn the lights off and move the sunbeds back from the water's edge.
हमारे बगल में हमारे पड़ोसी Gayan, जो बरसों से इस तट पर रहते हैं, कछुओं की देखभाल का एक छोटा केंद्र चलाते हैं। वे आसपास दिए गए अंडे इकट्ठा करते हैं ताकि कोई उन्हें ले न जाए, उन्हें एक साफ़, संरक्षित जगह पर फूटने देते हैं, और जब नन्हे कछुए मज़बूत हो जाते हैं, तो उन्हें रीफ़ के पार समंदर में छोड़ देते हैं, जहाँ उनमें से ज़्यादा के बचने की संभावना होती है।
Some evenings that happens here, between our two palms, between 17:00 and 19:00, with the restaurant's lights turned off. Nobody can promise it or book it. If you are at your table when it does, you will not forget it.

जानने लायक बातें
They are wild, so nobody can promise. They are seen most early in the morning and around sunset, often only a few metres from the beach.
The turtles feed in shallow water close to the reef. Stay where you are comfortable, and never swim alone if you are unsure. From May to September, swim only on calm days.
Masks are lent free at the bar, in children's sizes too.
When someone from the team is free, they can come into the water with you: ask at the bar. We always show you where to walk in and where the urchins are.
Many small fish, and big ones too. And sea urchins in the rocks: take care, and walk in where the sand is clear.
