Simone Biles released baby turtles into the ocean during her post-Olympics beach vacation

• Simone Biles is enjoying a well-deserved post-Olympics vacation.
• On Instagram, Biles shared photos of herself releasing baby turtles onto the beach.
• Biles said it was an item she could cross off her bucket list.

Simone Biles is taking a well-deserved vacation.

After competing in the Tokyo Olympics with the weight of a nation on her shoulders, Biles told the world via Instagram that she would be "beaching until further notice."

On Tuesday, Biles shared another post from her beach trip, showing her in the company of some tiny baby turtles who were set to make their march to the water.

Biles said she was "crossing this off my bucketlist!" while sharing several photos of the turtles' journey into the waves.

Biles' vacation comes after an Olympics that proved far more stressful than anyone could have imagined.

After a disappointing showing in the team all-around competition that saw her drop out after the vault, Biles revealed that she was dealing with "the twisties," a gymnastics phenomenon that can leave athletes dangerously disorientated in the air.

Biles did not compete in several more events but bounced back to win bronze in the balance beam before Tokyo 2020 came to a close.

While Biles didn't cross off the possibility of competing again in three years at Paris 2024, for now, she has plenty of time to think the decision over and rest on the beach with her new turtle friends.
