From the Galápagos Islands World / Places

Playa de la Estación

Add a brief shore stop to a research-station outing for marine-iguana watching among the lava rocks. The compact beach suits a pause rather than a full excursion.

Why go

This small shore stop gives an exhibition-focused visit to the research-station area a coastal counterpart. The sand and lava rocks provide a place to look for marine iguanas without committing to a long excursion. The compact sandy stretch contrasts with the surrounding lava shoreline.

What to look for

  • A small beach lies beside the research-station approach
  • Lava rocks provide resting places for marine iguanas

Useful to know

  • Follow the signed beach access from the research-station road.
  • Keep clear of wildlife and judge water conditions before entering.
