Playa Mermejita is in Mazunte and is one of only two Oaxacan nesting locations for the rare leatherback turtle. The nearby Centro Mexicano de la Tortuga researches, breeds, and displays numerous varieties of live turtles and fish and is working to bring this turtle back from the brink of extinction. The leatherback can live for 80 years and grow to a length of 9 feet.
