Turtles The endangered Ridley Turtle nests on the beaches of Puerto Escondido and Puerto Angel. People sometimes see these turtles laying their eggs and then the hatchlings scurrying back to the ocean. An interesting tour is the Turtle Museum in Mazunte - a wonderful beach area one hour from Puerto Escondido. All of the local turtle species can be seen at this Centre for Turtle Preservation and Study.

Boat Tours Boat tours are available from most beaches. These are wonderful to get a view of the coastline and also to view the bountiful sea life of turtles, dolphins, tuna, jellyfish, etc. And if you are adventurous, dive overboard and take a swim with a giant sea turtle!
