Tortuga Bay, located on Santa Cruz Island in the Galápagos archipelago, Ecuador, is a pristine and stunningly beautiful beach renowned for its white sands and crystal-clear turquoise waters. This natural paradise is a haven for wildlife, including marine iguanas, sea turtles, and a variety of bird species. The bay is divided into two main areas: Playa Brava, known for its strong waves and popular among surfers, and Playa Mansa, a calm, sheltered lagoon perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
