Tortuga Bay

Today we walked from town to Tortuga Bay. 
The stunning ocean view of ice blue waves crashing on a vast white powder sand beach was well worth the 2.5 km walk through the natural cacti and manzanillo forest (don't worry, there was a paved path).  Mind you, the tumultuous surf was not safe for casual swimming. 



However, if you walk to the end of the beach and turn right at the mounds of marine iguanas, a welcoming calm bay awaits. 




We spent the day relaxing, swimming, and sharing our picnic lunch with Darwin's finches.  




Close to the shore, we saw a giant sting ray, and tiny sharks.  And the kids saw some huge sea turtles (tortugas) while they were kayaking.
It was a great day at the beach.
