Tourists see sea turtles hatch at Holden Beach

HOLDEN BEACH, NC (WWAY) — A pair of tourists got an opportunity Monday that many locals never get.

Sisters Kim and Karen Hartnett happened upon some sea turtles that had just hatched and were waddling their way to the ocean.

The Harnetts, who are from Chicago, were enjoying a day on the beach when they saw the little guys. They say it was super neat to see the sea turtles because they never see that kind of thing in the Midwest.
