Port of Pensacola and American Magic to Participate in Sea Turtle Baby Shower Saturday, June 4

The Port of Pensacola will be participating in the Sea Turtle Baby Shower on Saturday, June 4 from 9 a.m. to noon. The Port's booth will feature a member of American Magic to sign autographs and teach kids how to tie a nautical knot. Participants will receive a sea turtle key chain to add to the knot while supplies last.

Pensacola Beach - Join the Pensacola Beach Advocates, Island Times, the Santa Rosa Island Authority and the Pensacola Beach Chamber of Commerce for our annual Sea Turtle Baby Shower on Saturday, June 4, 2022 from 9 a.m. until Noon at the Gulfside Pavilion on Pensacola Beach. It’s free, so load up the families and kick off your summer fun on beautiful Pensacola Beach as we educate visitors and locals about the nesting habits of sea turtles. Learn the “do’s and don’ts” of how we can help nesting sea turtles as they return home to our beaches this nesting season. Learn about the beach ecosystem and other animals who call the beach their home at this “hands on” sea turtle baby shower featuring 20 exhibitors. See complete list below. PBA President Rhonda Dorfman said, “Arrive early and take the sea turtle oath. Pick up your activity booklet and visit exhibitors. Get stamped after you’ve learned something fun and exciting and pick up your surprise.” Participants can watch Dan the Sand Man create a sand sculpture, hear a story from Mendy the Mermaid, participate in the Trash Dash, or collect sea grass with the Panhandle Manatees. Boogie Inc. will be entertaining us as well. See our full list of exhibitors below who are planning a fun-filled educational morning - rain or shine!
