San Josef Bay Tour

San Josef Bay Tour

Tour Highlights: Without a doubt, one of the most amazing things to see at San Josef Bay are the sea stacks.

Water surging through the sandy passages at high tide has slowly eroded the softer rock, leaving behind only the harder formations. In some spots, this effect has left behind the sea stacks, a remarkable feature, but one found fairly commonly around the world.
