Review: Boquerón

Let’s start big picture. What’s the vibe here? This small town on the southwest coast of Puerto Rico is a great reprieve from the busier cities of Rincón, Aguadilla, and Isabela. Here, the water is calm and shallow—so family-friendly—and the kiosks selling oysters and clams, as well as local bars on the main strip, offer relaxed entertainment and sustenance.

Any standout features or must-sees? Balneario de Boquerón, one of the most beautiful beaches in Puerto Rico. The water is calm; there are trees for shade; and parking and places to eat are not a far walk.

Was it easy to get around? This is a really flat and easily navigable town.

All said and done, what—and who—is this best for? This is the spot for those who love a calm day at the beach, as well as snacking on fresh seafood.
