The Southwest coast of Tenerife has always been a natural home for a variety of marine species, especially for sea turtles. In the past, many beaches like El Puertito de Adeje gave people the chance to reach these wonderful animals right after a short swim from the shore. Snorkeling with turtles was a really easy and achievable experience. However, as this put their life in danger, turtles have been taken to safe zones.
