The Oregonian/OregonLive reports the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport is caring for both turtles.
A couple walking along the beach in Waldport spotted the second turtle on Dec. 15 and called the aquarium. A state parks ranger carried the animal to safety.
The aquarium said the turtle is in good health.
Caretakers plan to transfer the turtles to SeaWorld San Diego for treatment until they're ready to be released back into the wild.
The first turtle was found on Dec 12.
