Boquerón, Puerto Rico

Nestled within Cabo Rojo and hugging the coast of the Bahía de Boquerón lies the cozy, laid-back village of Boquerón. Its gorgeous crescent-shaped coastline shelters one of Puerto Rico’s finest beaches, a pretty marina and a ribbon of fantastic dive sites. Visitors can indulge at the village’s lavish balneario (resort) for easy access to the beachfront or check out the Cabo Rojo National Wildlife refuge, where native birds live among the tree canopy. The village’s main street and waterfront boulevard, Poblado de Boquerón is lined with rustic restaurants in wooden shacks and stalls shaded by brightly colored umbrellas, producing aromas of freshly cooked street food. In the evenings, the town comes alive in the many bars and clubs, and on the northern end, the Boquerón Yacht Club is home to a collection of luxury boats. For the aquatic adventurer, the coastline offers some incredible opportunities to explore at the Blue Flag-awarded Boquerón Beach, where you can laze on golden sands under the shade of palm and almond trees, rent a Jet Ski, or head out to one of Boquerón’s Dive Sites to discover the vivid underwater world offshore.
