Moreno Point (Punta Moreno) is located near Elizabeth Bay on the west coast of Isabela Island. This is a nice area for a panga ride along the striking rocky shores and a great place to view Galapagos Penguins and shore birds. On land, a path through lava rock leads to tide pools and mangroves. These tide pools often contain green sea turtles or white-tip shark. A birdwatcher's delight, this site attracts Blue Herons, Pink Flamingoes, and Brown Pelicans.
