Viewpoints at the top of Cerro allow observation of the two islands located in front of Isla Verde and Isla de la Coronilla. There have been identified colonies of sea lions and, occasionally, copies of elephant seals.
In addition, Green Island is the only breeding site in Uruguay of a mixed colony of Yellow-billed terns, Real and South America.
In the marine area highlights the presence of cetaceans such as dolphin, french dolphins and southern whales. This area is also a feeding ground and refuge for the green turtle and several species of cartilaginous fish such as gatuso, the Sardinian and the hammer.
