Acerca de La Playita - Punta King Kong
La Playita - Punta King Kong es un sitio protegido de arrecife y tortugas en Machalilla, cerca de Salango, con una larga pendiente coralina y hábitat de tortuga carey. Conviene verlo más como una parada tranquila de arrecife y fauna que como una inmersión profunda o técnica. Las notas de acceso público señalan la zona de Salango y un acercamiento guiado por la costa, así que la marea, el terreno y las normas del parque importan más que la profundidad en sí.
