Boquerón's long, government-run public beach, rated among Puerto Rico's best and a Blue Flag beach, a dinghy ride across the bay from the anchorage.
Practical
Coordinates from Wikipedia (Boquerón). Wikipedia: the balneario is run by the Puerto Rican government and holds Blue Flag status. It is packed on weekends and holidays. El Poblado (the village) is known for its food and nightlife: weekend evenings close it to cars, with street karaoke and bars from pool halls to hole-in-the-wall mojito spots. Avoid Roca Velásquez just off the town docks (Virgintino guide).
