2020 Turtle News: First Babies of the Season

We have great turtle news for you. The first baby turtles of the season have been born at The Royal Sands, The Royal Islander and the beach in front of Royal Uno and have been released to begin their new life at sea.
In the past few days, 7,978 eggs from nests in the turtle nurseries at the three resorts have hatched, including several loggerhead and hawksbill turtle nests. The Royal Resorts turtle guardians, our security staff, are monitoring the nests round the clock, on the look out for the telltale movements in the sand as the hatchlings emerge from the eggs.
It appears that the sea turtles are venturing up on to Cancun’s beaches in greater numbers this season, perhaps due to fewer boats during the day and fewer lights, sounds and people on the shoreline after dark. At Royal Resorts we are protecting 492 nests with 58,335 precious eggs (August 6), with many more weeks to go in the 2020 season.
