A very beautiful place that can be reached with a non 4x4 car even if the road is a little bit chaotic and hard to find.In September, we saw only a few tourists around and has a wonderful beach for ourselves. Unfortunately no turtle at this time of the year.Prefer the beach at the end of the peninsula were we found absolutely nobody. If you are willing to watch the sunset there, put some mosquito repellent!
Wrong time of year (June) for actual hatching of turtles but a fascinating experience nonetheless. The little museum explaining everything was fascinating and looking at the marked off egg hatching areas was appreciated,
We couldn't find it , we had maps, sat nav and guide books but we could not find how to access the area.
Recommend going with a guide so much to see along the way , quad biking made it thoroughly enjoyable wouldn't recommend driving saw some stranded cars in soft sand , great beach , when you get there's lots of turtle nests on the beach and a small open shed type building with a couple of tanks with baby turtles its vey basic the key is don't expect too much also the guides will advertise that you can hold the baby turtles this is not the case you are not allowed to touch them . the beach was not crowded at all very few people no amenities though but you could easily spend the day there BE WARNED the sand gets boiling hot so make sure you take some sandals or similar down to the water and something to lay , on go prepared water etc as there is nowhere to buy food or drink . It's not suitable for the disabled the path down to the beach is quite steep and uneven
Well worth the effort - we walked from the Avagas river - but be aware hired cars may not be covered by insurance on these unpaved roads. So get out and enjoy the walk. Go rockpooling, look at the caves ... a great day out.
We went on a Jeep tour which incorpated this beach but it was at the wrong time of year in jan so 'no turtles' Aug to sept is best time t visit
This is suppose to be a Turtle reserve, and the place as littered with plastic bottles, and human rubbish that must have been taken there. IF YOU TAKE IT, THEN TAKE IT HOME. A hard uneven road to go on, but well worth the few
A lot of reviews about getting to this site and the road conditions etc. The only thing I can add is that the site is very badly signposted and we drove past the actual concealed entrance for an hour before we decided we didn't feel safe to continue. Once we entered, it's obvious that the turtles MAY ONLY visit the site in season [june/july] and the only other information one gets is photos plastered on 2 open huts. Nothing else.Will suggest read the instructions to get here carefully from the other reviews and only thing I can add is that after you pass the SECOND café, the site is only 500 m away on the left, no further...!The only reason I have given this site POOR is it was for us in an off season time, but importantly can not imagine what more would be added during the main season, i may be wrong...!Otherwise the beach is not any different to other in the area.
Nothing to report really as it was later in the year and they had moved on to a different area i suppose
This was a bit of a mission to find and we had to rent a quad hike to get to it but we found it first time considering the whole place is pretty much a maze. It was the right time of the year too but we didnt see any turtles. But we snorkelled and it was essentially the clearest waters that we had seen around the island . Visibility well over 15 meters under water and so many things to see .
