  • 1. La Ponderosa Lighthouse Ruins

    Along Route 107—an unmarked road crossing through Punta Borinquen Golf Club—you'll find the ruins of La Ponderosa, an old Spanish lighthouse, as well as its replacement, Punta Borinquen, at Puerto Rico's northwesternmost point. The original lighthouse was built in 1889, destroyed by an earthquake in 1918, and rebuilt in 1920 by the U.S. Coast Guard. Just beyond the ruins is a local surf spot, Playa Wilderness.

    Rte. 107, Aguadilla, n/a Puerto Rico, 00603, Puerto Rico
  • 2. Playa Crashboat

    Named for the rescue boats used when nearby Ramey Air Force Base was in operation, this beach has soft, sugary sand, water as smooth as glass, and the sort of colorful fishing boats pictured on postcards. A food stand serves the catch of the day with cold beer. Amenities: food and drink; parking (free); showers; toilets. Best for: partiers; snorkeling; swimming.

  • 3. Playa Gas Chamber

    Just north of Playa Crashboat, this beach with big sucking barrels is favored by surfers. There is limited parking and no beach area, just coral. On a good surf day, this is where you come to watch the pros charge the waves. Amenities: none. Best for: surfing.

    Rte. 107, Aguadilla, n/a Puerto Rico, 00603, Puerto Rico
  • 4. Playa Wilderness

    This undeveloped beach near La Ponderosa ruins is recommended only for experienced surfers, as it can have dangerous breaks. The long rights, and difficulty in reaching the break, make it popular with locals. To get here, take Route 107 through the Punta Borinquen Golf Club. Amenities: none. Best for: surfing.
