We left further down chatting and on our walk back home we noticed this turtle stuck between the rocks unable to get out, trying its hardest to swim out with each swell. Unfortunately, I am not too strong to pull this big green fella out but thankfully a local was around to help get him safe and back to his family!” she explained.
