If you are a beach lover, Puerto Baquerizo Moreno is the ideal destination for you. The city is surrounded by several beautiful beaches like Playa Mann, La Loberia, and Puerto Chino, which are great both for relaxation, sunbathing, and doing outdoor activities such as snorkeling and wildlife watching. Hiking trails, such as those to Cerro Tijeretas, provide stunning views and opportunities to see native wildlife, including frigatebirds and sea lions.
