DESTIN, Fla. - Tiny green sea turtle hatchlings made their way to the water on a beach in Destin, Florida, on October 28, and their adorable journey was shared to Facebook.

Emerald Coast Turtle Watch posted a video of the critters crawling towards the sea.

“This was our second green nest and we were worried because it was laid so late in the season. But it has been unusually warm and they hatched perfectly,” the group told Storyful.

Sea turtle nesting season roughly begins on May 1 and ends around October 31.
