- TURTLE ISLANDS PARK
..............................................................................................................
Situated
at Pulau Libaran north of Sandakan.
- The
park is a group of three islands. These beautiful
islands have beautiful white sandy beaches, ideal
for the popular Green and Hawksbill turtles to
lay their eggs on the shores at night. The eggs
are protected and are collected to be placed in a
hatchery for about 55 days. Upon hatching, the
baby turtles are released back to the sea.
