Rancho Santana is host to thousands of little visitors every year who make themselves comfortable on our beaches without booking a single night’s stay. They’re our turtles, of course! Annually, about 6,000 green turtles (the most common) and three other species lay their eggs in the sand at Playa Escondida. Once hatched, they collectively make the epic and life-affirming journey to the ocean only meters away.
