Bahia Tortuga is another amazing beach on Santa Cruz just 1 mile outside of Puerto Ayora. To get to the beach, you have to walk this wonderfully bricked path to the beach. The National Parks system has done a fantastic job with their trails and paths and this pic is just an example of how well maintained they are.
