Tortuga Island

Isla Tortuga is one of the Nicoya Peninsula’s star attractions with its crystalline waters and tropical white-sand beaches. Named Turtle Island for its volcanic rock formations that resemble the majestic marine creatures, Tortuga is comprised of two uninhabited islands and sits a few miles in front of Curu Wildlife Refuge. Coconut palms line the beach, where visitors can play volleyball, lounge under the sun, or swim in the island’s calm waters.
