FLOREANA ISLAND

| VISITOR SITE | WHAT TO SEE | ||
| Punta Cormorant has one of the best flamingo lagoons and a beach whose sand has a large proportion of fine olivine crystals, giving the entire beach an olive-green tone. |

| Post Office Bay historically this site is the location of a wooden barrel which was placed there in the 18th century by the crew of a whaling ship. It has been utilized since then by whalers, yachtsmen and tourists alike as a post office. If you find a letter or card addressed to someone living near you, take it with you and continue an ancient tradition. |

| Devil's Crown a marine site located a short distance off of Floreana. It consists of a picket-fence like remains of a small volcanic cone which has been eroded away by the sea in various places, creating in its interior an ideal habitat for several types of corals, fish and other marine life. |
