About South Plaza

  • Close Panel 
This island was formed by uplifted lava and is like a massive tilted plate with one side dipping into the water and the other raised into the air to form a cliff edge. It has tall tree-like Opuntia cactus and the ground is covered with Sesuvium (a succulent plant). The main attractions here are land iguanas, sea lions including a bachelor colony, swallow tailed gulls, red billed tropic birds and Audubon’s shearwaters.
