Sea turtle nesting season generally runs from early spring to late fall, but the exact timing can vary slightly by region:

• In many areas, including Florida's Space Coast, the season is from March 1 to October 31. This period covers the entire nesting process, from egg laying to hatching.

• In Marathon, Florida, the nesting season is noted specifically from April 15 to October 31, with some areas like the Keys seeing nesting from May 1 to October 31.

• On Jekyll Island in Georgia, nesting typically begins in May and can go through mid-summer, with hatching occurring from August through October.

• Florida Gulf Coast beaches commonly have nesting from May 1 to October 31.

• In South Carolina, Loggerhead turtles nest from May through October.

• North Carolina has a peak loggerhead nesting season between May 1 and August 31.

Overall, while regional variations exist, sea turtle nesting season in the U.S. broadly spans from March or April to October or November , with activity peaking generally in the warmer months of late spring and summer into early fall.

This timeframe aligns with warmer temperatures and beach conditions suitable for laying eggs and successful hatching.
