Things To Do
Playa Crashboat (Crash Boat Beach)
Crash Boat Beach is the most well-known beach in Aguadilla. The calm waters are home to an array of marine life, perfect for snorkeling and diving. Jump off the pier into the turquoise waters, or hop on a banana boat for a thrilling ride around the beach, then hit the food trucks around the pier for a pina colada and casual Puerto Rican fare. Later in the day, walk to the lookout to watch the sunset. Crash Boat Beach is halfway between the former Ramey Air Force Base (today's Aguadilla Airport) and Aguadilla and still retains some remains of its pier infrastructure from when it was used to support Ramey Air Force Base. Now these piers remains are used as a fishing and recreation spot.
Surfer's Beach
This is one beach that will be in the background of our wedding ceremony. Surfers Beach, as the name implies, is known for having some of the best surfing waves on the western side of Puerto Rico. Aside from surfing, you will find plenty of romantic spots to relax under the palm trees and observe the views of the beach.
Survival Beach
Survival Beach is one of two beaches that will be in the background during our wedding ceremony. To get to this beach, many people park at Surfer's Beach, and then hike the paths to get there. It is a rocky beach that is known for being picturesque, although not as calm or relaxing as some other beaches. This is one of Puerto Rico's most secluded beaches and is ideal for hiking and pictures. Survival Beach was the site of survival training when the General Ramey Air Force Base was in operation. Another interesting fact is that the 1961 film "Lord of The Flies" was filmed partly in this location.
Ruinas del Faro (The Old Aguadilla Lighthouse Ruins)
Found in the northwest town of Aguadilla, the ruins of the Punta Borinquen lighthouse are found near Aguadilla's Punta Borinquen golf course and they overlook a popular surfing spot.
Túnel de Guajataca
Guajataca Tunnel is a railroad tunnel that connected the town of Isabela and Quebradillas, Puerto Rico. The tunnel is one of the most significant works of the remnants of the national railway system that connected the island during the first half of the twentieth century. Although the beach at the tunnel is not the greatest beach for swimming, it is a great sightseeing spot and has several picturesque locations in its general vicinity.
Pozo De Jacinto
Pozo de Jacinto is at Jobos Beach which is near Crash Boat Beach in Aguadilla, which borders Isabela. It's a blowhole, or limestone rock with an orifice through which ocean waves shoot up. Folklore: A jíbaro named Jacinto often went near the cave to eat his lunch, keeping the cow's leash tied around his waist. One day, loud thunder scared the cow and he ran, fell down the pit pulling Jacinto with him and both drowned. If Jacinto's name is called and mention of the cow is made, the ocean becomes furious and churns wildly in response.
Playa Jobos (Jobos Beach)
Playa Jobos is a great destination close to the venue. It has a variety of beach types ranging from quiet calm water for families, to rough waves for surfers. The farthest east side of the beach is marked by a natural rock wall, which creates a protected cove with safe waters and many spots to snorkel. A portion of this beach contains one of the other attractions listed in our little travel guide, Pozo De Jacinto. This is the hole with local folklore which is located up a rocky hill along the beach. Just past this, is one of our favorite day trip attractions when we visit Isabela, Mirador Paseo Tablado. This is a long boardwalk that lines the ocean, and is perfect for picturesque views and exploring the beach. There are a large amount of bars and restaurants within walking distance to various portions of Jobos beach, making it a great area to spend time on your trip!
Faro Punta Higüeras (Rincon Lighthouse)
Punta Higüero Lighthouse, also known as Faro de Punta Higüero, is a historic lighthouse located in Rincón, Puerto Rico. The original building was built in 1892 by the Spanish government and was rebuilt in 1922 by the United States Coast Guard.
Boquerón Beach
This is the beach that Jen grew up going to. This beach has numerous palm trees, and an extensive coastline covered with calm waters. The beach has over a mile of clear golden sand, and water in various shades ranging from dark navy to crystal clear turquoise. Boquerón Beach is one of the “Blue Flag” beaches in Puerto Rico, a coveted award given to beaches around the world that meet strict standards, particularly safety and water quality.

Castillo San Felipe del Morro
Lying on the northwesternmost point of the islet of Old San Juan, Castillo San Felipe del Morro is named in honor of King Philip II of Spain. The fortification, also referred to as el Morro or 'the promontory,' was designed to guard the entrance to the San Juan Bay, and defend the Spanish colonial port city of San Juan from seaborne enemies. In 1983, the citadel was declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations in conjunction with the San Juan National Historic Site. Over two million visitors a year explore the castillo, making it one of Puerto Rico's leading tourist attractions. Facing the structure, on the opposite side of the bay, a smaller fortification known as El Cañuelo complemented the castillo's defense of the entrance to the bay.
