The beach itself is full of sea lions, but the real gem here is snorkeling in the water, since you'll get to see everything from Eagle Rays, huge sea turtles, eels, and a bunch of colorful fishes.And you'll definitely get to swim with sea lions, which are playful and a joy to watch. On the road here, you'll pass some volcanic rocks which have a lot iguanas, in case you're into that.
This is a quiet and lovely spot to snorkel. Waves are not too strong and you can see several sea turtles and schools of fish. The water is not murky, which helps. There are some sea lions, but not too many so it does not smell bad like Playa Carola or Playa Mann. Passed La Loberia, you can follow a path with amazing views.
Boobies, marine iguanas, sea lions, sea turtles, frigate birds and fish galore. This beach has it all. We saw four sea turtles within 15 minutes of snorkeling. The sea lions will also swim up to you and then turn away at the last moment. We even met an adorable baby sea lion (Laramie) that followed us around the beach. If you keep walking past the first snorkel spot you can see a bunch of marine iguanas and blue footed boobies.You can walk to the beach from the town, it's about 30 minutes, or take a taxi for $3 each way. You can set up a time for the taxi to pick you up, then don't pay them until they return, which is a pretty good deal because it can be so hot out and the walk isn't exactly scenic. Say "Hi" to Laramie for us!
This place is great for a (free) snorkeling trip! Rent some equipment in town and male sure that you are at Las Loberias in the morning (with low tide). Marine Iguanas, sea lions, sea turtles, sharks... They are all here in the water if you're lucky. Great place to relax as well, highly recommended!
There was an abundance of Sea Lions on this beach who were not afraid from humans. Recommended when you are in San Christobal.
Tons of lobos marinos and quite near to the city. Above all don't forget your snorkling kit! I think it's a MUST if you like snorkling
Nice beach, nice place to beach snorkel. Cool hike up to a cliff but recommend sneakers or hiking shoes, not sandals or flip flops.
This is a wonderful place with lots of sea lions around, you can swim with the, be careful, lots of poppies around too. Reachable on foot or by bike. Walking to the reefs is also recommended you can see lots of iguanas and many birds including blue-footed boobies.
It is hard to write about the wonder that is Galapagos Islands. It is a national park and you cannot get enough of visiting as much as you can. It is the way it should between man and nature
I recommend Las Loberias if you a couple of hours free. We found it to be the perfect activity when we landed on San Cristobal in the afternoon.Take a taxi from downtown for $2 - ask them to come get you when you are ready to return! Walk down the path and see the beautiful beach which you will share with TONS OF SEA LIONS! There are so many cute baby sea lions also. They'll come right up to you - just don't touch them!Also, if you walk a little further, there is a little tide pool area you can walk into that is just gorgeous.
