Holden Beach NC is a gorgeous vacation spot. It is not developed so there are no vegan restaurants on this stretch, but there was a bakery that offered vegan cupcakes one beach over… maybe Staaarr Bakery (memory is foggy). The nice thing was my family rented a gorgeous home and I was able to cook all of my own vegan meals with this as a view. @vegannomad in PDX
I’ll also mention we saw a leatherback (one of the rarest and most endangered sea turtles of that area)being rescued. They have a strong sea turtle rescue operation in place. It was very impressive! Something I learned, if you ever need to pick up a sea turtle don’t turn it over. If you do turn it over, make sure you turn it back the way you came. They told us something about the intestines or organs can get tangled if you do a 360Âș turn.
Beautiful pic! Your story reminds me of a time I was taking a midnight walk along a beach in northern FL and I almost tripped over a huge leatherback laying eggs. Next thing I knew there was a turtle conservancy crew on their way over to mark the spot so people wouldn’t disturb the eggs. It was incredible. When I looked up and around I realized there were a half a dozen or so mommas laying eggs! đ
What an experience and treat @vegannomad!
