Second time I've made this trip. This time around I took my 5year old. Lovely well kept turtle sanctuary. The baby turtles are released at around 5.30pm every evening. The caretakers are knowledgeable however they only speak Indonesian so if you don't you'll have to have someone translate for you if you have questions. If you take an early morning walk (5.30am) you are often luckily enough to spot the last few turtles returning to the sea after laying their eggs. If you walk along the beach to the right for about 8km you get to a beautiful deserted beach which is calmer and swimmable. (See picture). Really recommend it just make sure to bring lots of water with you as it gets hot and there is nowhere to buy more. You can also access it through the forest -1-2 hrs walk but nowhere near nice a walk better for the homewards trail. The closest place to stay near the turtle sanctuary is Batu Besar guest house. Simple but comfortable.
