Isla Isabel National Park

The national park extends across 194 hectares of land and marine environments, featuring volcanic cliffs, coral reefs, and tropical forests near San Blas.

The Mexican government established Isla Isabel as a protected national park in 1980 to safeguard its marine species and migratory bird populations.

Local fishing communities maintain traditional navigation methods and fishing practices while supporting conservation initiatives through regulated no-fishing zones around the island.

Visitors need to arrange boat transportation from San Blas to reach the island, where they can participate in bird watching, snorkeling, and hiking activities.

The waters surrounding Isla Isabel host three endangered sea turtle species: olive ridley, green, and Pacific hawksbill, along with seasonal whale shark populations.
