Boquerón
A seaside resort village in Cabo Rojo with a long, calm public beach. Street stalls serve freshly shucked oysters and seafood snacks, and the nights are lively.
Boquerón is a seaside town in Cabo Rojo. Its core is the Boquerón Public Beach: a curved sandy beach of about 3 km, shaded by palm trees, with shallow water and gentle waves that suit family swimming. It has a parking lot, showers, and picnic areas, with a small parking fee. Streets in the town center are packed with seafood stalls and bars. The signature dishes are freshly shucked oysters and clams served with lemon and hot sauce, and music plays late into the night on weekends. From the pier you can take a boat out for snorkeling or visit nearby islets. It is about 15 km from the lighthouse and makes a good base for a Cabo Rojo day trip.
