Cormorant Point - Floreana

Galapagos Islands

Overview

Cormorant Point, located on the northern tip of Floreana Island, immediately impresses you with its beaches. One is olive-green, whose unusual color comes from the olivine crystals in the sand, and it stretches between two volcanic cones. The other is almost a dazzling white, made up of coral sand. The patches of pink are the flamingos that can be observed in this site's lagoon, a favorite spot for them. By taking a one-mile hike to higher ground, you can view all the splendor of the lagoon and the two beaches.
