Loggerhead Marinelife Center’s mission is to promote conservation of ocean ecosystems with a special focus on threatened and endangered sea turtles. The organization began in 1983 as the Children’s Museum of Juno Beach and, in April 2007, relocated to a 12,000 square foot certified “green” facility and changed its name to Loggerhead Marinelife Center. Loggerhead Marinelife Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit sea turtle research, rehabilitation, education, and conservation facility that includes a state-of-the-art full service veterinary hospital, exhibit hall, outdoor classroom, research lab, resource center, and a marine-themed gift store. Park amenities connected with the Center include a guarded beach, nature trail, playground, and picnic pavilions.

Loggerhead Marinelife Center hosts thousands of school children each year through field trips, outreach programs, summer camp, and other educational experiences, and more than 300,000 visitors come each year to see the exhibits and the patients in the outdoor sea turtle hospital. The Center features an outdoor sea turtle hospital, salt water aquaria, displays of local wildlife, and educational displays about South Florida’s marine environment, as well as a massive prehistoric Archelon sea turtle replica. It operates a 24 Hour Sea Turtle Rescue Line and provides a 24-hour hatchling drop off container at the front entrance. If beachgoers encounter a stranded sea turtle hatchling, they are asked to place it in a bucket or container with damp sand, without water, and bring it to this hatchling drop off container. Juno Beach is recognized as one of the most active nesting beaches in the world, and Busch Wildlife Sanctuary is identified as a community partner for injured, sick, or orphaned wild animals such as land or freshwater turtles. Loggerhead Marinelife Center’s Unwrap the Wave Initiative allows students and community members to collect their Halloween candy wrappers and recycle them. Loggerhead Marinelife Center was named the No. 1 “Best Free Attraction” in USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards back-to-back for 2024–25.
