Isla Danzante consists of only four square kilometers, enough to be surrounded by turquoise waters teeming with marine life to be seen with a mask and snorkel. There are sea lions, dolphins and fish of all sizes and colors. It is also a black coral bank and has the famous “honeymoon” islet, with an extensive carpet of white sand.
Isla del Carmen operates as a private nature reserve that includes houses, sports centers and even a church and cemetery, built during the period of exploitation of the salt deposits in 1984. Currently, the island is uninhabited and has been designated as a wildlife conservation area.
Coronado Island is the idyllic spot for boat trips to picnic on its ivory-hued sand, hike among its cliffs to find caves and lagoons, and snorkel or dive. The island originated from a volcanic cone and has become home to flying fish, dolphins and sea lions.
Deserted beaches and cliffs are the main feature of Montserrat Island and the magnet that attracts hundreds of photographers from around the world looking for the best landscapes of Loreto and the Sea of Cortez.
Santa Catalina Island has the ideal conditions for camping and enjoying its beaches with serene waves. It is also a strategic point to observe blue-footed boobies, whose species inhabit very few parts of the world, such as Galapagos.
