The Turtle Lady on South Padre Island

The Turtle Lady

Ila Loetscher is "The Turtle Lady." Literally thousands of people have been enlightened about the plight of the endangered sea turtles by this feisty little lady -- but did you know Ila was the first licensed woman pilot in Iowa?

Visit South Padre Island's Sea Turtle Inc. and to learn more about the Turtle Lady. This tourist site is worth the visit. Perfect for children!

Sea Turtle Inc. is located at 6617 Padre Boulevard, South Padre Island, Texas (across from the Tiki
and near the Convention Center on the north end of the Island) Click here for a map.
