The endangered turtle’s careta careta and several uncommon animals nest on the island and it is strictly prohibited to remove any plants, animals and sand from the area. At the top point on the island there is a plaque that honors a tragic event. The crystal clear water and with the white sand will catch you eye. Right in front of this beautiful long beach you’ll see a small island connected to the shore by a sandy isthmus.
