Isla de Ramos
18° 18.8′ N · 65° 36.6′ W
A small, palm-covered private island 4 miles south of Cabo San Juan, ringed by reef, with a house on its 35-ft summit, passed on every trip between Puerto del Rey and Palomino.
Practical
Position from OpenStreetMap. Coast Pilot 5: 0.2 mile in diameter, covered with palm trees except on its summit (a grassy 35-ft knoll with a house); a reef surrounds it to 200 to 300 yards; a buoyed shoal with a least depth of 16 ft lies 0.6 mile east-southeast. Wikipedia lists Ramos as one of three private islands near Puerto Rico (with Palominos and Lobos). No published anchorage guidance for visiting yachts was found; treat it as private and pass outside the reef.
