The Turtle Hospital is a small organization dedicated to the rehabilitation of endangered sea turtles. Established in 1986 to rehabilitate injured sea turtles and return them to their natural habitat, conduct research aiding to sea turtles, and educate the public through outreach programs. Located on the Overseas Highway in the Hidden Harbor Motel, The Turtle Hospital features 23 individual tanks, and a 100,000-gallon saltwater pool for rehabilitation purposes and several small tanks with mesh netting covers reserved for hatchlings to be treated. Visitors can enjoy 90-minute guided educational tours of the hospital facilities and the sea turtle rehabilitation area which includes a presentation on sea turtles as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the hospital facilities and rehabilitation area and feeding of a resident turtle.
