Isla Isabel National Park

Isla Isabel National Park is a small volcanic island protected area located in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Nayarit, Mexico. The park encompasses the entire island and its surrounding marine waters, creating a unique terrestrial and oceanic conservation unit. Established in 1980 and designated as a Ramsar Wetland in 2003, the park protects one of the most important seabird nesting colonies in the eastern Pacific. The island's volcanic origins have created dramatic cliffs, rocky shores, and inland terrain that provide critical habitat for colonies of frigatebirds, boobies, and other marine birds. Despite its modest land area of approximately 1.94 square kilometers, the park plays an outsized role in regional biodiversity conservation and serves as a crucial stopping point for migratory seabirds along the Pacific flyway.
