The nature center offers a variety of interactive exhibits that educate visitors about the local flora and fauna. One of its main attractions is the sea turtle rehabilitation facility, where injured or sick sea turtles are cared for before being released back into the wild. The boardwalk and nature trails provide an immersive experience through coastal hammocks and mangroves, offering a chance to observe wildlife in their natural habitats.
