Ted. The town of Uvita is famous for two things; whales and “The Whale’s Tail.” This is supposedly the only place on earth where both Arctic and Antarctic populations of Humpback Whales gather during calving season. In an odd coincidence, a crescent shaped rocky outcropping just off shore has created a beach extension that looks remarkably like a mile wide whale’s tail. Don’t believe me? Take a look at this aerial view.
This beach is part of Marino Ballena National Park and one morning, when the tide was out, Judy and I decided to wander out onto the beach to see what the fuss was about. The admittance fee of $6.00 US for foreign visitors (and the pandemic) kept the crowds down. This also ensured that it was the cleanest beach we have seen here. Here are a few of my snapshots.
