Guajataca Beach, Isabela






From many people we've heard how beautiful the beach in Isabela is, so today on the way to Rincon, we decided to have a little stop at Guajataca Beach. We'd seen the big tunnel from a viewpoint further away - but we had no idea what else was there!

This beach was just off the PR-2 highway, and after talking to a fisherman, seems to be a popular spot during summer for camping. There were a lot of sato's (stray dogs) there, which was very sad to see, but the beach itself, the palm trees and the camping area were perfect! We've noted this spot and may come back sometime when we go camping.

We walked through the tunnel, which seems to have a restaurant attached to it, but it was closed and what we assumed it was only open during summer. We strayed off the beaten path and went into the jungly areas - and it was amazing what we found! It was VERY humid, and there were lots of little creatures everywhere...hermit crabs, geckos, birds and tarantulas the size of Geoff's hand! Alpen was bounding around as though she were a mountain goat, loving every minute of it.
