Isla San Martín is an island in the Pacific Ocean west of the Baja California Peninsula. The island is uninhabited and is part of the Ensenada Municipality.

## Biology[edit]

Isla San Martín has six species of reptiles: Anniella geronimensis (Baja California legless lizard), Diadophis punctatus (ring-necked snake), Elgaria multicarinata (southern alligator lizard), Hypsiglena ochrorhyncha (coast night snake), Pituophis catenifer (gopher snake), and Uta stansburiana (common side-blotched lizard).

Formerly, the San Martin Island woodrat lived on the island, until it became extinct due to predation by feral cats.
