Beach Holidays at the Galapagos

Monday, March 8, 2010

The radiant sun warming up the crystalline waters; the beautiful natural landscape of red mangrove swamps and exotic beaches of thin, white sand; the sea lions, the colorful birds and the amazing aquatic life that appears as soon as you get underwater… everything you ever dreamed for a beach to be perfect is found at the Galapagos. Enjoy life to the full with the vacations you’ve always dreamed about, spending some days at the beach of your choice lying on the sand, listening to the sound of the waves, breathing the marine air and just enjoying your free time. If you’re having a hard time picking the beach that best suits you, here’s a rough guide to some of the Galapagos’s greatest holyday spots:

The Santa Cruz Island is considered the Galapago’s main destination for tourists. Among its most beautiful beaches are the Tortuga Bay –great for taking long walks–; the Garrapatero Beach, that thanks to its white, thin sand and turquoise waters is perfect for flamingo sighting and snorkeling; the Alemanes Beach, another splendid, sandy beach and a gate to the fascinating Grietas (cracks); and finally, the isolated beach of Conway Bay, home of a big colony of sea wolves, where only a few cruises dock, making the place specially quiet and peaceful.

Other islands, such as the Española, have wonderful beaches as well. The Gardner Beach, for example, is a fantastic location to spend your time and enjoy the best sunsets. It is also a perfect spot for those willing to enjoy underwater life without diving: it is enough to take a dip into the water to observe an amazing variety of tropical fish and sometimes even white-finned sharks.

At the beginning of the year temperature is generally high, which means the beach season at the Galapagos has started. Galapagos is a place where the image of a paradise-like beach gets enhanced by the enormous variety of species that inhabit the place. Undoubtedly, this is a main destination picked by travelers from around the world, an unforgettable place where responsible tourists are always welcomed.
