80 Senses #64… Turtles & tortoises, North Island
North Island in the Seychelles is the default desert island retreat for A-listers (and princes) looking for a discreet break in beautiful surroundings. There are just 11 villas in total and four beaches, so there’s barely a soul around most of the time. That also happens to suit some of the other regular visitors to the island.
For the beaches of North are the venue of choice for hundreds of endangered Green and Hawksbill turtles looking to lay their eggs. If you are lucky enough to be here in season (September to February for Hawksbills and more like June to September for Greens) every time you walk along a beach you will likely see the telltale trails where mature females have dragged themselves up the beach to a laying site.
