Jiquilisco Bay
The Jiquilisco Bay Biosphere Reserve is located on the southeast Pacific coast of El Salvador, in the department of Usulután. Jiquilisco Bay's mangrove-lined inlets offer some of El Salvador’s most untouched natural beauty. The bay hosts the largest abundance of coastal-marine birds in the El Salvador, many of which are threatened or endangered. Over 80 species of migratory birds visit the area to feed on the bay’s plentiful bounty of fish, which include species such as snook, red snapper and corvina. Exploring the bay’s many islands, mangrove canals and desolate beaches is truly awe-inspiring. The natural beauty of Bahia Jiquilisco has recently led to an increase in eco-tourism in the area.

Famous quotes containing the word bay:
“Baltimore lay very near the immense protein factory of Chesapeake Bay, and out of the bay it ate divinely. I well recall the time when prime hard crabs of the channel species, blue in color, at least eight inches in length along the shell, and with snow-white meat almost as firm as soap, were hawked in Hollins Street of Summer mornings at ten cents a dozen.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
