"Be A Slow Poke"

One of our amazing “Island Kids” wanted to raise awareness & encourage people to be alert & slow down while driving on the island. Summer & July 4th week is a busy time….please take Capri’s advice..and “Be A Slow Poke”.
The island tortoises are endangered and if we all slow down, we can make a difference in keeping these amazing creatures around for future generations…Thank you, Capri…What a great job on this poster!
Poster will be on display on the Bocilla Islands Conservancy Bulletin Board.​

Palm Island Rocks!

2 of our full time Island Kids, Declan & Lilly have started an Island Rock Garden to promote kindness, sharing & creativity. The kids have left some beautiful painted rocks to share & they hope this small act of kindness will brighten someone’s day!  Add a painted rock or shell if you’d like to spread some cheer  The rock garden is located at the public Access just outside the resort.   Thank you, Kids!    Palm Island Rocks!
