Loggerhead Marinelife Center & Juno Beach Pier
A free sea turtle rescue hospital and exhibition center, next to the Juno Beach Pier, where you can fish or watch the sunrise.
Juno Beach is one of the most densely populated loggerhead turtle nesting beaches in the world. The Loggerhead Marinelife Center is a nonprofit sea turtle hospital where you can visit tanks holding recovering turtles and marine ecology exhibits. Admission is free, though donations are welcome, and it is generally open daily from 10:00 to 17:00. In summer, typically June and July, you can sign up for night-time turtle nesting tours, which require advance reservations. Across from the center is the Juno Beach Pier, about 300 meters long, where you can pay to walk out to fish or watch the sunrise. The beach next to it is also good for swimming. It is about 20 kilometers from West Palm Beach.
