Turtles watching in Rekawa - (January to Jully)

Rekawa (7 km east of Tangalle on the south coast of Sri Lanka) is a treasured location for all wildlife enthusiasts as it is home to turtles that come to lay eggs. Protected by the Turtle Conservation Project since 1996, the sanctuary itself is quite distinct from the turtle hatcheries as it protects the various nesting sites from predators.

Visitors are allowed to watch this moving ritual inscribed for millions of years in the genetic heritage of sea turtles. Turtles lay their eggs (when they also hatch) at night between 19.00 and 03.00. The best time to go is between January and July when an average of 17 turtles a day come onto the shore at Rekawa. (They come in smaller numbers during the rest of the year.) Of the seven species of marine turtles in the world, five nests at Rekawa and most of these are green turtles. http://srilankaholidaytourpackages.com/
