Guayabo Island

(Local Name: Isla Guayabo) Found in the northern end of Gigante Bay, Guayabo Island is a 6.8ha/17ac rocky islet with high cliffs and little vegetation. The island is a well-known seabird sanctuary, with Costa Rica's largest nesting colony (200 to 300 birds) of brown pelicans.

Land visitors to the island (except researchers) are prohibited for the protection of the seabirds. However, the large colony can be observed from a boat. The peregrine falcon spends the winter on the island as well.
