Audio Guide of Lion Beach

Access is generally from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., in line with the park control operating hours. You can get there easily by rented buggy or by taking the public bus to the Sueste stop and walking about 15 minutes along a marked trail.

Yes. Since it is inside the Marine National Park, you must have a valid entrance pass. You should purchase the pass in advance on the official National Park website or at the island’s physical ticket points.

A visit of 1 to 2 hours is ideal for enjoying the scenery and taking photos from the viewpoint. Since the sea is often rough, most visitors spend more time admiring the landscape than swimming.

Its name comes from the huge rock formation off the coast that resembles a reclining sea lion. It is famous for being the main sea turtle nesting site in the entire archipelago, which gives it incalculable ecological value.

The best time is during the dry season, from August to December, to ensure clear skies. Visiting early in the morning lets you avoid crowds and enjoy spectacular light for photographing the stone ‘lion.’

Direct access to the sand is difficult because of the wooden stairs and uneven ground. However, the upper viewpoint offers an excellent panoramic view and is much more accessible for those who cannot go down to the beach.

You are very close to Sueste Beach, a perfect place for snorkeling with turtles and sharks in calm waters. We recommend visiting Sueste for a swim and then Lion Beach to relax and admire the wild scenery.

There are no kiosks or shade on the sand, so bring water and sunscreen, and remember to take all your trash with you. Be very careful when swimming, as the currents are strong; if you want an audio guide so you do not miss any detail, visit IAudioguia.com.
