Corozalito Beach Costa Rica<\/strong>: separated by towering cliffs of volcanic rock that are about 80 million years old from Islita beach.<\/p>\n

Corozalito hosts a significant population of Olive Ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) sea turtles, as well as some Pacific Green (Chelonia mydas), Leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) and Hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) sea turtles.<\/p>\n

The southern area of Corozalito beach has a mangrove estuary which flows into the sea during the rainy season, with fresh water and even during the dry season. This particular habitat is visited by migratory birds, such as the critically endangered Jabiru, and small vertebrates typical of the Guanacaste region like coyotes, coatis, raccoons, ant eaters and skunks, which are commonly spotted on the beach in search of turtle eggs.<\/p>\n
