Rota Bird Sanctuary

I Chenchon Bird Sanctuary

A birdwatching lookout on cliffs along the northeast coast, overlooking thousands of red-footed boobies and frigatebirds roosting above the forest.

The sanctuary lies on the limestone cliffs of Rota's northeast corner. From the viewing platform you look down on red-footed boobies, brown boobies, white terns and frigatebirds roosting in the forest below, with the Pacific beyond. The flocks returning to roost at dawn and dusk are most spectacular, so bring binoculars. Entry is free, and you can drive along the road to reach the viewing platform.
