their eyes cannot see
Box turtles hatch from an egg and their mothers are long gone. They never see their mother.
One theory is that they are expecting to see the moon over the ocean being the only light source. Now, if there is a town inland, they might head towards the light from the city instead and get all confused.
Turtles do not have babies, they produce highly precious eggs, they retreat to the other side of the beach (away from the sea) and they burrow down around 1/2 to a foot down and bear there eggs there, then when the eggs hatch, the baby turtles head off to sea.
They're reptiles. The female lays eggs in a pit in the sand, covers them up and is done. When the eggs hatch, the small turtles will dig themselves up and head for the ocean.
what light?! head light, tail light, parking light, rear view mirror light, rear hatch light, underhood light, etc.

Turtle don't take care of their young. Once the young hatch and emerge from the sand, they head instinctively towards the sea. Many young may hatch, but only a few reach maturity.
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.
They usually hatch 7 days later after they were laid.
They are located in the back of the eye, the retina. But you should have asked in which direction do they "look"? They aren't oriented towards the nose, but rather towards the back of the head! We see reflected light.
