Punta Pitt is located on the northeastern tip of the island of San Cristóbal. This is the only place in the archipelago where it is possible to observe the 3 species of boobies present in the Galapagos. The seafloor is composed of a mixture of volcanic rock, sandy bottom and small islets of coral reef. It is possible to do snorkeling and scuba diving. This site can be visited by a day trip from San Cristobal or on certain naturalist cruise itineraries.
