This wild, undeveloped beach with its coarse gray sand offers perfect conditions for leatherback turtles to lay their eggs, but it's far too rugged and windblown to throw down a towel for some beach time. This is one of the busier laying sites in the March–August season, when you need a permit to enter after dark. Turtle-watching trips are arranged through Nature Seekers.
