Lonely Planet review

Shell Beach extends for about 140km (87mi) along the coast near the Venezuela border and is a nesting site for four of the eight sea turtle species, including olive ridleys, hawksbills and the magnificent giant leatherbacks. These turtles used to be slaughtered for their meat and eggs but are now part of a non-governmental conservation program.
