May marks the start of the sea turtle season in the Mexican Caribbean. During the summer nights, thousands of female sea turtles will emerge from the waves to dig nests in the sand and lay their eggs. Royal Resorts is gearing up to watch over these maritime visitors and their precious offspring born later in the season.<\/p>\n
From May to September, female green, loggerhead and hawksbill turtles struggle ashore to lay their eggs on the beaches of Cancun, the Riviera Maya, Isla Mujeres, Contoy, Holbox, Cozumel, Sian Ka\u2019an and the Costa Maya in southern Quintana Roo. Forty-five to 60 days later, the eggs will hatch, and the baby turtles will break free of the shells and race across the beach towards the waves and a new life at sea.\u00a0 In 12 to 15 years, some of them will return to lay their own eggs on the same beach, repeating the eternal cycle.<\/p>\n\n
