Welcome to Beach Junki — a place to learn about the beach and how to help save sea turtles.
Our mission is to inspire our community to care for the ocean, protect marinelife, and take action!
Amelia Sea Turtle
Amelia the Sea Turtle is a vibrant educational sculpture made entirely from washed-up marine debris. Created by local artist Sandra Baker-Hinton, she features sunglasses, bottle caps, and other ocean-tossed plastics transformed into art that highlights the growing threat of marine pollution. You can visit Amelia at Seaside Park in Fernandina Beach.
Jelly Junki
Ceceilia Cain is the creative talent behind one of our most striking Wash Up art pieces, Jelly Junki, now on display at Main Beach. Using washed-up balloons, bracelets, bottle caps, discarded lighters, and other ocean debris, she transformed everyday litter into a bold and colorful reminder of the impact marine pollution has on our coast.
