South of Santiago lies Rábida Island. Also known as Jervis Island. Snorkeling and swimming are also popular here while the main trail leads to a major sea water lagoon and mangroves where brown pelicans have made their homes while flamingoes have also been known to frequent the area.

For those interested in geological evolution the island is infamous for housing the widest diversity of rocks formed through vulcanization.
