What is islas san benito?

Islas San Benito, also known as the San Benito Islands, are a group of three small islands located in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of the Mexican state of Baja California. The islands are uninhabited and protected as part of the San Benito Archipelago National Park.

The islands are known for their diverse marine life and pristine natural beauty. They are home to a large number of sea lions, sea birds, and a variety of fish and other marine species. Visitors can enjoy activities such as diving, snorkeling, and fishing.

The Islas San Benito were historically used by fishermen and pearl divers, and they were also briefly occupied by Russian settlers in the early 19th century. Today, they are a popular destination for eco-tourism and wildlife enthusiasts. Access to the islands is limited, and visitors must obtain a permit from the Mexican government to visit.
