South Plaza Island
This small island with steep cliffs was formed
by rising lava and is now covered by Opuntia cacti. It is also
home to one of the largest
sea lion colonies as well as colorful yellow and red land iguanas. The most characteristic
plant is the Sesuvium. During the rainy season its color is a
greenish to yellowish tone and in the dry season (end of June through January)
a bright red. The dive site near South Plaza Island is a great dive for
beginners because the water is shallow and it is in a protected area between
North and South Plaza Islands.
