Estero Morúa
A tidal estuary wetland east of town. You can paddle a kayak to watch birds, and at a local oyster farm you can eat freshly shucked oysters.
Estero Morúa lies about 15 kilometers east of the city. It is a wetland of sandbars and mudflats formed by the rise and fall of the tides, home to many waterbirds. At high tide you can paddle a kayak or stand-up paddleboard through the estuary and watch herons, ospreys, and schools of fish. Inside the estuary is a local oyster farm where you can eat freshly shucked oysters. There are several resorts and quiet beaches nearby. Some kayak tours include pickup, but driving yourself requires a stretch of sandy dirt road, so pay attention to tide times.
