Singer Island, Fla. (July 19, 2023) ─ Support the sea turtles on Singer Island! The Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort & Spa has launched a new resort package and new guest experiences that support sea turtle conservation. The resort has partnered with local nonprofit organizations to provide sustainable, interactive programs that allow guests to take part in hands-on sea turtle conservation efforts. Singer Island is a popular refuge for sea turtles during nesting season, with thousands of nests laid on its beaches every year.
In collaboration with Loggerhead Marinelife Center (LMC), the resort’s new Meet the Turtle package includes an audio tour for four at LMC and participation in the Center’s Adopt-a-Sea Turtle program, where guests can symbolically adopt their own sea turtle and receive an adoption certificate with the turtle’s name and information. A portion of the proceeds for each package reservation will be donated to LMC. The Meet the Turtle package is available with a minimum two-night stay, now through the end of sea turtle nesting season on October 31.
In addition to the resort package, the Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort & Spa offers family-friendly educational activities. Once a week, the resort’s Kid’s Club hosts a “Turtle Rescue” with LMC researchers, where children learn the rescue and rehabilitation process of a sea turtle using a plushie sea turtle. As the resort monitors sea turtle nesting activity on its beaches, guests can sign up to participate in guided turtle walks, hatchling releases, beach cleanups, and “turtle talk” presentations with representatives from the Sea Turtle Conservation League and Loggerhead Marinelife Center.
Guests can take a piece of their experience home by purchasing a plushie sea turtle in the gift shop, with a percentage of each sale donated to Loggerhead Marinelife Center. Free, personalized sea turtle postcards are also available to send home to family and friends.
To further inform guests about sea turtle conservation, resort staff undergo educational training so they can answer guests’ questions. Pamphlets and posters are also posted throughout the resort with information about Singer Island’s special connection to sea turtles.
