Divers and snorkelers come out here to swim with sea lions and reef sharks, occasionally hammerhead sharks show up, you can also see eagle rays and octopus.

While you’re there, go to Calypso and try the pescado encocada (fish cooked in coconut milk and served with fried plantains), snorkel or dive at Kicker Rock and take a trip to Mirador de la Soledad to take in the view.
