In keeping with the theme of Genovesa Island, the south-facing Darwin Bay, is a world of seabirds unto itself. If you consider the bay a ¾ crescent, most are rocky shores and cliffs, and only a tiny fraction is the beach; it is one of the places to visit in the Galapagos islands. However, it is here where a serene walk along the small white sands is an opportunity to observe frigatebirds, Nazca and red-footed boobies, herons, gulls, finches, mockingbirds, and more against the backdrop of prickly pear cacti and palo santo trees.
