Did you know that you can adopt or sponsor a sea turtle nest on North Cape San Blas?🐢🐢🐢🐢
Our family has been vacationing in the area for over 20 years (first as guests, and then owners) and I just found this out within the past several months.
This year we are proud to announce that we are starting what will be an annual tradition of adopting a turtle nest on the Cape. Our adopted nest is in the newly renourished beach area by The Rocks, about a mile away from Pineapple Plantation.
We encourage your family to also consider adopting or sponsoring a turtle nest on North Cape. As an incentive, anyone who participates will be entered into a drawing for a discount off of a future reservation at Pineapple Plantation. The discount will be based on the number of participants:
$100 off for 1-5 nests
$200 off for 6-10 nests
$300 off for 11-20 nests
Here’s all you need to do:
1) make a donation by clicking on the attached link to the Florida Coastal Conservancy website. It’s just $25 to sponsor a shared nest, or $50 to completely adopt a nest.

2) by Sep 7th, message us that you’ve made a donation so that we can include you in the drawing. No proof required as we trust you. Additional details at the bottom of this post. Thank you!!
We’re so excited that our first adopted nest is the brand new sand added as a result of the beach nourishment project.
As a quick update, the sand portion of this project is already completed, and my understanding is that almost all of the beach in this area is now reopened to the public. They are still working on the breakwater portion, which is expected to significantly reduce future erosion. Of the 8 breakwaters to be installed along this stretch of Cape San Blas, the first 2 are substantially complete and they are starting work on a third one. All construction work is expected to wrap up by the end of July. Please see the attached picture (courtesy of SJP project updates). Pineapple Plantation is about a mile away from the renourishment project, and our section of the beach and is not impacted by this work.
Before you book your next stay, please message us for your exclusive new or returning guest discount. This way we can tell our partners at Coastline Vacation Rentals partners (850-227-3330) to apply your discount when you call.

Contest Terms and Conditions
We will notify the winner by Sep 12th. Winner will receive a discount to a future reservation. While this won’t apply to an existing reservation, the discount will remain valid as long as I’m alive and own Pineapple Plantation, which will hopefully be for many decades.
