Britannia Bay Turtles (Mustique)

Green turtles graze the seagrass of Britannia Bay year-round and surface around the moored boats; hawksbills patrol the reefs.
Practical
Position approximate: placed just off Basil's Bar. The Mustique Company says you can swim with turtles next to Basil's Bar but asks visitors not to touch or chase them; the 5-knot harbour speed limit exists to protect them. Hawksbill and leatherback turtles nest on Mustique beaches March-October.
