Under The Sea
Did you know that the beach of Playa Venao has been home for many generations of turtles? We're talking the big turtles here, that often live to be over 80 years old. You can participate in the activities of rescuing turtle eggs and helping baby turtles take their first steps into the ocean by visiting Save The Turtles.
Just 10 kilometres down the road from Playa Venao you can pay for a boat-taxi to take you through the mangroves to the small village of Isla De Cañas. An island that is visited by five species of sea turtles, including the Olive Ridley, Pacific Green, Loggerhead, Leatherback, and Hawksbill.
Beside the gnarly surf on our beach break, amazing cuisine, and natural beauty of the Pacific Ocean, Playa Venao has a lot to offer travellers and nature-lovers who want to explore the wildlife reserves and beaches nearby.
