Punta Cormorant (Galápagos) is located outside the Puerto Velasco Ibarra settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Floreana island and the correct question is not how to get to Punta Cormorant, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.

The area in between is a popular spot for flamingos, making it an ideal location for taking breathtaking photos. Snorkeling was a truly fulfilling experience, as I was able to catch sight of an array of fish, as well as a massive turtle, a sea lion, and even..."
