Arribadas of Sea Turtles
Olive Ridley turtles and hawksbill turtles choose Playa Ostional to nest in large numbers. This unique experience allows us to marvel at these ancient sea creatures. The highlight of this beach is the arribadas, where thousands of turtles arrive simultaneously to nest. Despite challenges like egg predation, the turtle population is increasing thanks to conservation efforts.
Best Time to Visit Playa Ostional
While turtles nest throughout the year, massive arribadas occur during the rainy season, between August and December. These events last up to a week, providing a unique opportunity to witness nature’s majesty.
