Things To Do in Highland Beach

Without a single traffic light, Highland Beach’s quiet and relaxing beaches serve as critical nesting grounds for endangered sea turtles. For eight months out of the year, from March 1 through October 31, turtles come to the shores and lay thousands of eggs in nests all along the beaches. Weeks later, the hatchlings burst from the sand and make their way to the moonlit sea. No traffic light needed here.
