Turtles usually lay there eggs in a hole in the sand the bay turtles hatch out and crawl to the sea.
This is from wikipedia:(edited)
Turtles lay eggs, like other reptiles, which are slightly soft and leathery. Large numbers of eggs are deposited in holes dug into mud or sand. They are then covered and left to incubate by themselves. When the turtles hatch, they squirm their way to the surface and head toward the water. There are no known species in which the mother cares for the young.
Sea turtles lay their eggs on dry, sandy beaches. Immature sea turtles are not cared for by the adults.
