Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Muelle Tijeretas (Galápagos) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Muelle Tijeretas (Galápagos) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Muelle Tijeretas for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

The snorkelling spot is accessible via a beautiful hike/walk, and the experience is very serene. The water can be chilly, so it's advisable to rent a wetsuit for $5 for the day, as well as snorkel and fins for $5. You'll likely spot sea turtles and sea lions that are friendly and playful. Occasionally, you might even catch a glimpse of a mantaray, although we weren't so lucky. Additionally, you'll encounter Blue-footed boobies and numerous Iguanas. This is a great spot to snorkel independently, without requiring a tour.

One of my go-to spots. A bay perfect for snorkeling and observing marine creatures. The view is simply breathtaking.

The hike to this bay is good and decent, but definitely worth it. The water in the bay is crystal clear and there are hardly any waves. If you bring your snorkel, you'll be able to see a variety of marine life, including rays and sea lions. The pier is also a great starting point for kayaking.

The beach offers excellent snorkeling opportunities and the route leading to it is adorned with stunning local flora and fauna.

The island's top spot for snorkeling boasts excellent visibility and the chance to swim alongside sea lions, fish, and turtles. A 20-minute walk along a stone path from town is required, so be sure to bring all necessary supplies as there are no amenities available.
