If ye be lookin' fer the meanest pirates this side of the island, then look no further. Tortuga be the port ye lookin' fer.... Okay, just trying to follow along with the theme of the area. Tortuga is located just north of Pirate's Cove, there is a large formation with boulders scattered around it. There are problems on the large formation as well as the surrounding boulders.
Getting There
Head to Pirate's Cove, then keep going for about 100-200 feet north and you will see it, you will probably see the Black Pearl first.

As of Sunday July 17th, 2009 there is a black dog leash that is attached to a dead tree at the base of the Widower Wall near the Black Pearl. We left it since we figured that the owners would realize that they left it there and other foot-traffic seems to be very low in this area.
