Punta Rosalía
Easter Island · Chile
On the windward northeastern coast, Punta Rosalía is a high-energy site where Pacific swell has carved caves and swim-throughs into the basalt at 10 to 25 metres. Grey reef sharks aggregations of 10 to 20 individuals are reliably encountered year-round. Green and hawksbill turtles rest in the caves, indifferent to divers. The resident coral community includes species found nowhere else — the remoteness of Easter Island has driven measurable speciation among reef fish and invertebrates.
