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.
Перед купанием
Если повезёт
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.
Рядом с нами наш сосед Gayan, который много лет живёт на этом побережье, держит небольшой центр защиты черепах. Он собирает яйца, отложенные в округе, чтобы их никто не забрал, даёт черепашатам вылупиться в чистом защищённом месте, а когда малыши окрепнут, выпускает их в море за рифом — там у большего числа из них есть шанс выжить.
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.

Полезно знать
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.
