Like any other sea turtle, hawksbill turtles are solitary for most of their life, they only meet to mate. Every 2 to 3 years, the females go to their nest on the exact same beach they were hatched from and lay their eggs. After a while, the babies hatch usually during the night time and make their way towards the ocean.
