Volunteer at a Beautiful Beach for Sea Turtle Conservation

This was an amazing experience that I will never forget! I think there are many volunteer opportunities for sea turtle conservation, but I think this one would top it off as being the best one. At Ostional, by day we would relax, enjoy the beach (and because the beach was large and there aren't many people living in the village, it was almost as if we had it all to ourselves), participate in activities with the local community, and occasionally clean up the beach. Just be prepared for the heat and mosquito bites. By night we would spend glorious walks along the beach in search for sea turtles.
The scene at night was absolutely beautiful. Imagine, walking with a small group of friends on a dark beach, only lit under the starry sky, including the Milky Way, and occasionally by the silent flashes of heat lightning. You feel the gentle breeze coming from the ocean and only hear the sounds of the gentle waves. After walking for a certain time, you rest on the dry, soft sandy beach before turning back. Most of my night experiences were like this.
My favourite one includes the night when we suddenly spotted thousands of sea turtles coming onto shore during "la arribada" to nest their eggs. It was sudden because I thought the beach was mostly empty until a heat lightning flashed and thousands of large turtles were seen surrounding us. The next night, the moonlight kept the beach lit enough for us to just watch all the turtles do their things. These nights were unforgettable sights!
