Today I was down on Indian Shores for lunch after picking up paperwork from a tenant. I had a new refrigerator delivered to the condo and wanted to make sure the paperwork did not get 'lost' for my German clients.

the pub, indian shores florida

Once that was done, I took a client to lunch and could not resist a photo of this friendly sea turtle that greated us in the restaurant while we were waiting to be seated. He was there to remind everyone, especially those who don't live here and are not familiar with life on the coast, that you never want to disturb sea turtle nests. It is against the law and you can easily destroy the nest, so it is best to stay away from them!

I love living along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. No matter where you look, you are always reminded that you are on the water! It makes life seem like an endless vacation!

Barbara-Jo, It's nice to see the restaurant taking an active roll in reminding people of the importance of not disturbing sea turtle nests. We all need to honor wildlife and sea life - after all it is their home and they share it with us.

how cute is that ! Friendly way to teach/ remind us that the nests are fragile and are a big violation to disturb them.

We've got a great volunteer group that carefully manages and protects our nests as well here along the Crystal Coast of NC.

You silly girl as i thought you were going to post a picture of a real sea turtle. I like to see them floating by on cruise ships as they are so colorful. It is a great reminder.

Barbara Jo,

I really like the picture and from what little I know your advice is very sound to avoid the nest.

Barbara Jo,

Too cute...I remember going down to Marco Island and having gotten to see some of the nest with a marine biologist that was doing tours there! Good reminder!
