An island of contrast, the west coast of Espiritu Santo has white, sandy beaches, while the east coast sports cliffs and rocky terrain. Outdoor adventurers will love this jewel in the Gulf of California -- kayaking, hiking, diving and snorkeling are the most popular activities. Of course, you can always relax on the beach, taking in the Baja sun and maybe catching a glimpse of some dolphins and manta rays.
