Local Lunch Stop

Stop at a local restaurant or food kiosk and enjoy the opportunity to purchase traditional Puerto Rican dishes, fresh seafood, or other regional favorites.

La Poza del Obispo

Enjoy the scenery, relax on the sand, take photos, or enter the water when conditions permit and the guide considers it safe.
