When visiting San Cristobal, this beach is a must see! Try to arrive at this beach early in the morning before other boats and people arrive. The white sand and beautiful water along with the many types of animals make this beach so unique.

Was lucky enough to be dropped off by dinghy to this private stretch of beach after doing a Kicker Rock boat tour. It's a really stunning stretch of white sands and gloriously clear water. Was able to watch the sea lions up close as well as see a pelican catch an iguana and go off with it and also the blue footed boobies spear diving into the water. Amazing.

We swam or snorkled at half a dozen beaches in our 8 day tour of the Islands. All were nice with beautiful blue water and wildlife. However the very fine white sand on this beach, coupled with the soft waves and friendliest baby sea lions, made this day stand out above the rest. The whole family enjoyed it. There were others with more to see snorkling, but for beach laying or playing, this was by far the best.

This was our first attempt to find some of the huge land tortoises we had read about for so many years. Sad to say, after a long hike (extremely hot and sweaty) over some very rough terrine, we discovered only two small females on the paths. The area is very dry and full of brush. There are some birds to ad mier, but not many.

The beach is absolutely beautiful. The white sand is soft and the surf is fun for swimming. There is absolutely NO SHELTER on the beach and the sun is very hot--sun screen is essential. The good news is that there are no fly on this beach--the same is bt true on other beaches! They can be nasty! They really do draw blood upon biting!

After the long walk, the water is really refreshing.

Our tour group encountered a pod of Dolphins on the way to the beach in our Pangas. They swam all around us and with us for quite a time, often within arms reach of us riding in the boats. It's an experience you may have anywhere in these islands, and it's a great one.

The beach is beautiful and pristine. Populated by Sea Lions and an assortment of fearless birds. Don't expect to find beach chairs, blankets, or drinks on the beach. This place is very much as it was when Charles Darwin visited many years ago.

Cerro Brujo has everything: Gorgeous white sand, tidal pools with crabs and fish, sea lions everywhere, picturesque volcanic rock formations, cliffs with boobies and seacaves. It is spetacular.

Just came as part of 360 tour. Just brief visit to admire the volcanic rock formation. Just stop to take pictures from the boat to watch mainly birds – boobies, frigates, pelicans and also sea lions. Some tours pr private boat can stop at the sandy beach. The rock and tunnel in it is in line with Kick Rocker for nice picture.

Another hike but expect a wet landing from a dingy boat off a ship. Great views for photos with a beach and snorkel to follow.

You can't go wrong with this beach! Soft white powdery sand, beautiful landscape, and seclusion. You will need a boat to get here, and there are no facilities. Sea lions galore that are happy to play around you in the water.

We took a dinghy ride around the cliffs of Cerro Brujo and thought the rock formations and blue footed boobies were really beautiful. We also stopped at a nearby beach for snorkeling. On the day we were there, there were many blue-footed boobies feeding and also a large number of pelicans. The beach was small but one of the most beautiful ones we visited. We also saw small sharks in the surf. The snorkeling was great and included many fish and even some eels. Of course, this may vary from day to day, but I really enjoyed my time here.
