Overview

Concha de Perla (Pearl Shell), located on Isabela Island near Puerto Villamil, is a great site for swimming and snorkeling.

Sea lions, sea turtles, penguins and iguanas are some of the amazing marine species you can see here. You should visit Concha de Perla in low tide for the best visibility. You can also walk on the 300m trail, surrounded by mangroves, and watch sea lions and iguanas lazing in the sun.
