Things to see and do Playa Guánico

La Marinera was declared a nature reserve in 2010 to protect the olive ridley turtles(Lepidochelys olivacea) that can be observed between July and December. They arrive alone or in groups, sometimes between 5,000 and 10,000 turtles over 2 to 3 days! They come to lay their eggs. The baby turtles appear about 45 days later. La Marinera can be reached at low tide in about an hour, following the beach and crossing rivers. A MiAmbiente post is held by guards who take turns, it was equipped in 2021 with solar panels.
