Tortuga Bay

Located in Santa Cruz, Tortuga Bay is a unique surf spot where surfers share the waves with marine life like turtles and iguanas. The beach and reef breaks provide consistent lefts and rights, especially with south swells and north winds. Best suited for beginners, the waves are relatively uncrowded, even on good days. Water temperatures remain pleasant at 23.7°C, but surfers should be cautious of rocks, sharks, and strong rips. The remote location adds to the adventure, making it a memorable experience.
