Tortuga Bay

After SCUBA we hiked out to Tortuga Bay. It is a 45 minute hike. 30 minutes out to the beach, and then 15 more minutes to get to the bay. The beach was very pretty with extremely fine white sand.

It has many crabs.

image

And little shrimpy things in the tide pools.

image

And crab tracks.

image

This is the hole of a ghost crab. They make tiny balls of sand outside of his hole. But they disappear into their holes really fast.

image

There were also these tracks.

image

Which belong to the marine iguanas.

image

They do not camouflage very well in the pale sand. But they are hard to see on the lava rocks.

image

The bay at the end was also very pretty.
