The 300 hectare island is ringed with secluded white-sand beaches
that attract olive ridley turtles. Among its residents are boa
constrictors, giant frogs, a variety of hummingbirds, and 3 mammal
species: a marsupial, the paca, and a bat. Surprisingly, only
13 terrestrial bird species are found here. About 5800 hectares
of ocean are designated as part of the reserve. Snorkelers can
see brilliant tropical fish and moray eels among the coral beds.
Offshore waters teem with common, and bottle-nosed dolphins, and
sperm, pilot, and humpback whales which migrate from Alaska. Diving
