Playa Tortugas is an extension, like Playa Los Cocos, of Playa Blanca. Playa Tortuga has as its chief attraction the fact of being a place chosen by hundreds of chelonians to spawn within its peaceful sands.
In Playa Tortuga, giant sea turtles come ashore May-October to lay their eggs in the warm sands (eggs are collected to be incubated at the turtle farm)
