Puerto Chino
Puerto Chino is by far one of the best beaches on the island of San Cristobal and is best reached by taxi. It will cost about $30 USD round trip from the main town of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. If you’re ever looking for things do to on San Cristobal, make sure you check out this pristine beach. Sea lions and sea turtles abound and it’s one of the few beaches in the Galapagos that you can visit without a naturalist guide. If you’ve ever wanted to camp in the Galapagos, this is your beach. For a small fee, you can pitch a tent and take in the soothing waves and scenery as the sun sets over your camp.

I just stumbled on your awesome blog and was SO happy to see fellow Seattleite/Washingtonians had been to Puerto Chino Beach! I was in the Galapagos in Oct ’12 volunteering on San Cristobal island and also fell in love with this beach 🙂 Marvelous post!
