At Punta Cormorant the black sandy beach twinkles with green olivine crystals (also called peridot). These crystals are evidence of a violent volcanic eruption.

Access to the beach is a wet landing. A short walk from the beach, a large saltwater lagoon is home to long, skinny-legged Greater flamingos that wade there, sifting through the sand with their curved bills to find shrimp. They also come here to breed. Here you'll also see white cheeked Pintail Ducks, stilts and other shorebirds.

If you follow the short trail over the hill you'll come to a pristine white sandy beach and a gentle surf. The sand here is so fine that it feels like walking on feathers! This beach is a nesting ground for the Green Sea Turtles. Playing off in the surf you might also see Stingrays, Golden Cowrays, and White-tipped Reef Sharks. Black volcanic rock which contrasts the pure white sand and soft blue waters is decorated with the bright red sally lightfoot crab.
