Although sea turtle nesting season doesn’t officially begin until May 1, the first nest of the season was spotted in Beverly Beach Sunday morning.
The leatherback nest, which has 82 eggs, was laid in front of the seawall at Camptown but was relocated higher on the beach, by Turtle Patrol, to keep hatchlings safe. Leatherbacks are the largest species of sea turtles — about 6-feet wide.
