Maite Marine Sanctuary, also listed as the Maite Pawikan Eco-Tourism Site, is a marine sanctuary in Maite, San Juan. One photo shows a pale yellow two-storey station on the white sand beach, with a Maite Marine Sanctuary banner under its upper window and kayaks stacked beneath the raised floor.
The other photo is a sunset over calm, shallow water, with orange cloud reflected on its surface.
Good to know: Both photos date from 2022-2023 and show no reef, underwater scene or turtles, although the title mentions pawikan (sea turtles). Opening details and any fees are not listed here; check locally before visiting.
