Whale Bay also known as Tortuga Bay is located in the Southern part of the island of Santa Cruz, Galapagos. Whale Bay is typically free of crowds, it also has a large beach with naturally occurring green sand. Whale Bay is a special destination because it allows visitors to explore somewhat freely by themselves, a rare occurrence in the Galapagos Islands. Whale Bay is also known for having a large number of animal species including the white tip sharks, a small and non-aggressive species native to the Galapagos Islands.
