Punta Pitt, San Cristobal, Galapagos

Pitt Point, also known as Punta Pitt, is a stunning visitor site located at the east end of San Cristobal Island in the Galapagos. The trail at Pitt Point features a beautiful olivine beach that stretches 295 ft (90 m) long, and a path that ascends to the top of a volcanic tuff, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. This unique site is renowned for being the only place in the Galapagos where you can see all three species of boobies – the blue-footed booby, red-footed booby, and the Nazca booby – as well as two species of frigatebirds and a lively sea lion colony. Visitors can enjoy dinghy rides, snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters, and observing a diverse range of sea birds. Embarking on a 2-hour hike or spending leisure time on the beach for 1 hour is highly recommended. Pitt Point is a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers.
