Tortuga Bay
About a 20-minute walk from the main water taxi dock in Puerto Ayora, Toruga Bay has a gigantic, perfectly preserved beach that is forbidden to swimmers due to the current which makes it the perfect spot to see some of the infamous Galapagos wildlife. Iguanas, crabs and birds are seen dotted along the lava rocks. There is a separate cove where you can swim where it is common to view whitetip reef sharks swimming in groups, small fish, birds, and gigantic turtles.
