Morgan's Rock - a Nursery for 16,400 baby Turtles

(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 26, 2010 ) OCOTAL BEACH, NICARAGUAÂ—Warm Pacific waters and the protected, sandy Ocotal Beach provide the perfect nursery for nesting turtles. In the past months more than 325 turtles have made landfall and laid their eggs. The latest count is an estimated 16,400 eggs, many of which, it is hoped, will last through the 45-47 day gestation period to return to the ocean.

The MorganÂ’s Rock Hacienda and Ecolodge is designed for travelers who love nature. The pristine, private beach and a unique 4500 acre protected primary dry forest environment surround the resort and provide the the ideal setting for watching the progress of the baby turtles as they hatch. Best seen at night, a guide takes guests by flashlight on a careful path to avoid damage to the nests and babies.

MorganÂ’s Rock Hacienda & Ecolodge features fifteen hand-detailed private bungalows made of exotic tropical hardwoods with decks open to spectacular views of the ocean, forest and birds. Each offers a king-size bed, a full bathroom, an exterior double hammock and an open-air shower. The restaurant, which serves all local produce grown on the resortÂ’s farm and fish caught by its own boats, overlooks a beautiful pool and the Pacific beyond. Special rates for the period from May to October, 2010, including 3 meals a day with non-alcoholic beverages, tax and service plus a daily tour, will start at $219 per person in a double.

MorganÂ’s Rock, located south of colonial Granada, the oldest city in the Americas, is easily reached by American, Delta, TACA and Continental who all fly to Managua with arranged transfers. ###
