Punta Sal — officially Parque Nacional Jeannette Kawas — is the wild headland that forms the western boundary of the Bay of Tela. The park combines white-sand beaches, mangrove channels, coral reefs, and tropical forest in a place reachable only by boat.
A standard day trip from Tela includes the boat ride along the coast, a snorkelling stop on the reef, walking trail across the headland with views back over the bay, and lunch at Cocalito beach. Howler monkeys are almost guaranteed in the trees, dolphins often appear, and during winter humpback whales pass through. Co-operatives based in Miami and Tornabé run the tours.
