Detail InformationEdit

Morjim beach is a natural choice for Olive Ridley turtles for breeding. The hatchings can be spotted easily during the nesting season, which lasts from November to March. It is an unusual sight to see the tiny hatchings make their way from their nests to the sea. Local authorities, however, want to avoid a stampede of tourists and visitors which could affect the turtles’ breeding.
