Here in North Carolina the endangered Sea Turtles are being watched very carefully.  Every year these Sea Turtle come up on the beach to lay their eggs.  Sometimes their visit to the beach is uneventful. Other times they can arrive hurt or injured by nature or humans.  Here in coastal NC, we have several groups and organizations that have a mission to help those Sea Turtles thrive in their natural habitat and bring awareness to their cause.  Some of the businesses in the very popular nesting areas near the beach are also trying to help residents and vacationers aware of the efforts to keep our Sea Turtles safe!

One such business trying to help out the efforts is our company, the Ocean Isle Inn.  Just a short distance from historic Wilmington, NC or Myrtle Beach, SC, the Ocean Isle Inn is in the heart of the Sea Turtle nesting and preservation areas.  If you’ve never seen Sea Turtle, they are absolutely beautiful creatures and they need all the help we are able to give.

Just about every hotel you stay in has those little soaps, shampoos and other amenities for you to use during your stay. You see so many different brands and types and most of them are just random items.  Well, the Ocean Isle Inn has chosen a specific brand for a very specific reason.  An environmentally friendly selection of amenities from Brame Specialties called the Preservation Line and features a logo of the Sea Turtle. They chose the Sea Turtle as their logo because it is an indigenous animal to North Carolina and has been endangered for many years.  The Sea Turtle logo isn’t all show, though.  The company has partnered with the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in Topsail Island, NC.  A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Preservation line of products is donated to help the Center save the Sea Turtles.

Ocean Isle Beach has its own dedicated team of Sea Turtle volunteers that comb the beach each morning during the nesting season looking for the tale-tell sign of a new Sea Turtle nest.  The Ocean Isle Inn is pleased to be able to give back to our community through this program.
