Mermaid Cottages loves our sea turtles! Our own coffee – Mermaid Morning Bliss, which is available in all our homes and for sale at Sea Side Sisters – was created to support the Sea Turtle Project in Georgia. All profits go towards these projects. We are avid supporters in other ways, such as through the Tybee Island Marine Science Center and the annual Tybee Turtle Trot 5K, held each spring to kick off Sea Turtle Season and proudly attended by many mermaids and mermen.
Several Mermaids are also part of the 6AM Turtle patrol from May 1st — Sept 1st where we walk the beach looking for newly laid turtle nests. Last summer Head Mermaid Diane found 2 turtle nests during her 6AM patrol! Lights out for Sea Turtles is also very important, and we have made sure our two beachfront cottages – Doyles on the Beach and Crabby Jo’s – have sea turtle-friendly lights and that our guests know what to do to for the homes to be sea turtle-friendly. For more info on Georgia sea turtles visit the Tybee Island Marine Science Center and The Georgia Sea Turtle Center.
Be sure to stop by the Burton 4H Center to meet Clover, a straggler hatchling soon to be released in the ocean, and discover more of our coastal island beauty!

Did you know that every doggie guest staying in any of our pet friendly cottages finds a supply of our delicious Beach Bum Biscuits
treats as our welcome gift?
Proceeds from our signature doggie treats help sponsor a puppy to be trained as a Guide Dog or a Service dog for a person with a disability.
This is just one of the ways Mermaids Give Back to our community and it’s also one of the easiest ways our guests can give back, as well. Proceeds from the sales of Beach Bum Biscuits all go towards sponsoring our puppies, so be sure to pick some up at Seaside Sisters. If you wonder if our Beach Bum Biscuits are good just ask any of our repeat doggie guests!
Now, STORM! How many have you had?
Pass The Biscuits, Please! Read More »
