I love being outdoors in nature and I love exploring our beautiful beaches and coastlines. I find lots of amazing things on my daily walks along the beach. Come and join me as we explore the beach together!

On my morning walk today I found this gorgeous sea turtle on the beach at Shark Bay, Iluka. I'm pretty sure he was not well, especially with the warmer waters pushing the population of sea turtles south with some of them are becoming sick. Would you know what to do if you came across a sea turtle?

When you go exploring on the beach always make sure that you are with an adult and never touch anything that you are not sure of - the beach has many beautiful creatures but not all of them are safe and some can even be dangerous. Be safe and look from a distance.
