Isla de los Pájaros (Swan Cay)
Isla de los Pájaros
A rocky islet in the sea north of Isla Colón, where red-billed tropicbirds, boobies, and frigatebirds nest, and a common birdwatching stop on island-hopping tours.
Isla de los Pájaros is a steep rocky islet covered in dense vegetation. It is a breeding ground for seabirds such as the red-billed tropicbird, brown booby, and frigatebird, and natural arches pierce its cliffs. Tour boats do not land on the island but circle nearby for observation, and the coral reefs around it are good for snorkeling. Because the island is in open water, boats cannot reach it when the waves are high. It is usually included in the northern Isla Colón day tour and can be combined with Starfish Beach.
