About the site

Cormorant Point

Cormorant Point, on the north coast of Floreana, combines two very different beaches and a lagoon of flamingos in one short visit. The panga lands on a beach of green sand, colored by olivine crystals from the island's volcanic rock, in a wet landing.

A short trail crosses the isthmus to a brackish lagoon where Galápagos flamingos sift the mud for shrimp, together with white-cheeked pintail ducks, stilts and other wading birds. The trail continues over a low hill to Flour Beach, a beach of fine white coral sand where green sea turtles come ashore to nest, mainly from December to May. In the shallow water, stingrays and spotted eagle rays rest on the sand and small reef sharks are sometimes seen, so this beach is for watching, not for swimming.

Back at the landing beach, many itineraries add snorkeling, with sea lions, sea turtles and reef fish, or continue to nearby Devil's Crown, while frigatebirds, blue-footed boobies and pelicans fly overhead.

The walk is easy and short, and suits every traveler. The flamingos are not always present, as their numbers in the lagoon change with the season and the water level.
