Karen Beasley Sea Turtle
Rescue and Rehabilitation Center

The mission of the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center is the conservation and preservation of all species of marine turtles, both in the water and on the beach. We accomplish this through the rescue, care, and release of sick and injured sea turtles, public education regarding the plight of sea turtles and the threat of their extinction, and learning opportunities for students of biology, wildlife conservation, and veterinary medicine from around the world. A nonprofit organization, we view our work as a privilege and are honored to work with these magnificent creatures.

Join us for the Surf to Sound 5K - and run for the turtles!

Announcing - the second annual Surf to Sound 5K on September 17, 2022! Whether you’re an experienced runner, an occasional jogger, or simply looking for a fun walk across the Surf City Bridge, the Surf to Sound 5K is the perfect event to celebrate the landscape, businesses and community that make up Hampstead, Topsail Island, and Surf City. And, know that you are helping to save endangered sea turtles while doing so!

Starting in Soundside Park, participants will head across the Surf City Bridge and back to the island, while taking in the Topsail Sound and views of the Atlantic Ocean for 3.1 miles. Hurry up or take your time, but don’t miss the Surf to Sound 5k on September 17, 2022.

Below are photos from the 2021 inaugural event - which welcomed nearly 500 registrants and raised over $10,100 to help the turtles! Thank you!
