Shell Beach

Guyana


This is one of the least developed areas of the entire South American coastline; the only human additions are in the form of temporary fishing huts and small Amerindian settlements. The beach here has sadly been all but washed away in recent years as coastal erosion is a huge problem. It's still a wonderful spot for turtle-spotting and bird-watching, however.

To get here you'll need to arrange transportation with a local travel agency.
