Befriending the local wildlife in Disney Dreamlight Valley is one of the most rewarding activities for players exploring Dazzle Beach. Among the various critters roaming the valley, sea turtles are known for their adorable appearance and shy temperament. Understanding what to feed these coastal creatures makes it significantly easier to earn valuable rewards and unlock them as permanent companions.

Where to Find Sea Turtles and Their Favorite Food

Sea turtles exclusively inhabit the sandy shores of Dazzle Beach throughout various times of the week. Their absolute favorite food is seaweed, which can be easily obtained by fishing in open waters outside of bubbling spots. While they will also accept other types of seafood, feeding them seaweed yields the highest affection points and the best rewards.

How to Approach and Feed Sea Turtles

Approaching a sea turtle requires a bit of patience due to their timid nature. When you walk toward a sea turtle, it will quickly hide inside its shell to protect itself. You must stand still next to the turtle and wait a few seconds until it pops its head back out. Once it re-emerges, an interaction prompt will appear, allowing you to select seaweed from your inventory to give to the critter.

Rewards for Feeding Sea Turtles Daily

Feeding sea turtles their favorite snack grants several beneficial items that aid in your daily valley progression. Players regularly receive Dream Shards, motifs, and other valuable crafting materials upon completing a feeding. Consistently offering seaweed over multiple days will eventually unlock the specific sea turtle color variant as a companion. Having a sea turtle companion follow you around provides bonus efficiency when gathering marine resources across the biome.
