Darwin Bay
This white sand coral beach heads a half mile trail (0.75km) that winds through mangroves filled with land birds. Nazca boobies, red-footed boobies, and swallow-tailed gulls can be spotted here.

A truly amazing volcanic experience…up close and personal!

Is one of the most colorful and volcanically varied islands in the archipelago and a great snorkeling site. Its famous maroon sandy beach and stunning lookouts provide wonderful landscapes.

This site hosts a large flamingo lagoon where other birds such as common stilts and white-cheeked pintails can also be seen.
