Playa Lechuguillas is a sanctuary for olive ridley and green turtles, offering a wonderful opportunity to see these turtles nesting, hatching, and being released. Be sure to inquire about the turtle camp with Biologists Hugo and Silvia, who provide comprehensive information about the turtles. The camp is located at the end of the beach, and the walk there is enjoyable.
The beach itself is exceptionally clean and sees very few tourists. I highly recommend visiting and asking about Campamento Tortugero; you won't regret it, and the cost of participation is very affordable.
