If you like your aquatic animals, then the Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles may interest you. They are apparently the smallest of sea turtles, and the only one that lays its eggs during the day. If you don’t fancy travelling to Mexico to search for them, then Padre Island, TX may be of interest to you. Should you not know anyone there, you could always search for North Padre Island rentals and see what takes your fancy.
