Each of the seven worldwide species of sea turtles are either threatened or endangered, and five species are found in the Gulf of Mexico. Sea Turtle was founded in 1977 by Ila Loetscher, affectionately dubbed the "Turtle Lady," for the main purpose of protecting and preserving the most endangered species, Kemp's ridley. The organization supports conservation and rehabilitation of all marine turtles. Volunteer presentations with live sea turtles, Tuesdays and Saturdays at 10am, will help you identify the different species and explain how each of us can help protect them.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
