A lovely beach apart from the "Sindhu Dwarawati Turtle Conservation" centre. The conditions in which the animals are kept are terrible. The water smells and many of the turtles look listless. One was even struggling to breathe. The owner appears to have little regard for their welfare and certainly does not appear spend any of the donation money (sitting in a clear plastic box) on the turtles. When asked about some of the turtles he became immediately defensive and aggressive. Although claiming to be an education centre, there is not a single informative sign to be seen - not a shred of information is provided on lifecycle, conservation status, habitat etc as one would expect at an education centre.
