We awoke in a different anchorage than that of previous days, in an area called El Barril on Magdalena Island. Colors of sunrise were an advice of a sunny and beautiful day in Baja California Sur. During the morning, we had the opportunity to kayak, cruise along the mangroves in an expedition landing craft, and test our balance on stand-up paddleboards. In the afternoon, we went ashore to Magdalena Island, where we had the opportunity to walk across the sand dunes to the Pacific Ocean side of the island where there is a large, sandy beach called Bahia Santa Maria or Sand Dollar Beach. We returned happy and thirsty and were rewarded on the beach with a beverage stand manned by National Geographic Sea Bird staff. What a great way to finish our stay in Magdalena Bay.
