León Dormido, more commonly known as Kicker Rock, is a popular dive and snorkeling site that is actually the remains of a lava cone split in two. The channel that the eroded formation has created is now home to animals such as white-tip reef sharks, Galapagos sharks, and hammerhead sharks. Above the ocean, Kicker Rock towers at over 500 feet high and attracts many species of birds. A visit to Kicker Rock is usually accompanied with a stop to the nearby Manglesito Beach where visitors can have lunch, swim with friendly sea lions, sunbathe on the white sand beach, or take a walk to enjoy the scenery.
