Guided overnight watch on Saint Lucia's main leatherback nesting beach, run with the Desbarras community turtle watch group, now revitalised as S.T.A.N.D. (Sea Turtle And Nature Defenders), historically booked through Saint Lucia Heritage Tours.

Community-run on a deliberately undeveloped beach; the presence of organised watch groups on Grande Anse is a direct deterrent to poaching and sand mining. Income supports the village that patrols the nests.
