Woody,
There are a few places to watch baby sea turtles being released into the ocean. The first one is Gumbo Limbo nature center in Boca Raton. They sell tickets but are all sold out for the season, as is Haulover Beach in Miami. Ann Kolb Nature Center also does them but in Hollywood. You have to have a permit to do it so only a few places around are actually allowed to host them. You won't actually see them hatch out as it is very hard to determine exactly when it's going to happen. If you're a resident of South Florida, you can become a member of Gumbo Limbo and get first dibs at the tickets next summer. They sell out in a couple days. You can always go out yourself and hope for the best but I know there are people who patrol that beach to make sure no one is harassing the turtles and that they dont get disoriented. Good Luck. I hope this helps.
