About this site
Boys Radio is a dive site off Santa Elena, on Ecuador's Pacific coast, where the peninsula marks the westernmost point of the mainland and the shoreline is exposed to open Pacific swell and current. Divers here have reported green, hawksbill, and olive ridley sea turtles, along with South American sea lions, and the rocky shallows are home to painted ghost crabs and Sally Lightfoot crabs.
