Isla Tortuga

Isla Tortuga (Tortuga Island) is an island in the Gulf of California, created relatively recently in geologic terms by the volcanism associated with the East Pacific Rise. It lies east-northeast of the city of Santa Rosalía, in Mulegé Municipality. It has a surface area of 11.374 km² (4.39 sq mi).

Tortuga Island rattlesnake (Crotalus tortugensis) is endemic to Isla Tortuga—it is found nowhere else. It is very abundant on the island and found everywhere, except in the caldera of the volcano.

List of locations in Pirates of the Caribbean

This is a complete list of islands and other locations in the Pirates of the Caribbean films series. Some locations in the series of films are real, others are fictional. Port Royal and Tortuga are the only locations to appear in more than one of the films in the series.

Port Royal

The real Port Royal was a city located at the end of the Palisadoes at the mouth of the Kingston Harbour, in southeastern Jamaica. Founded in 1518, it was the centre of shipping commerce in the Caribbean Sea during the later half of the 17th century. It was destroyed by an earthquake in 1692 and subsequent fires, hurricanes, flooding, epidemics and another earthquake in 1907.

Port Royal appears in all movies except in On Stranger Tides. Port Royal is the home of Elizabeth, where her father governs. It contains a port, a town and a fort, named Fort Charles, which was used to have pirates hanged. Will Turner worked there as the blacksmith's apprentice. The cursed crew of the Black Pearl attacked the town in search of the final piece of Aztec Gold. Later on Lord Cutler Beckett moved there and used it as his base of operations before heading out to command his armada from his flagship, The Endeavour.
