The National Park Service conducts turtle walks to view nesting loggerhead sea turtles at both the southern and northern ends of the 25-mile long Canaveral National Seashore. The programs start at 8 p.m. and last until midnight. If a turtle is not sighted by 11 p.m., the watch is canceled. In the northern section, participants assemble at the Canaveral National Seashore Information Center, 7611 South Atlantic Avenue, New Smyrna Beach. Website: www.nps.gov/cana/ Reservations
