Gilligan's Island (Cayos de Caña Gorda)
Cayo Aurora
A mangrove islet off the coast of Guánica, reached by ferry in minutes. Its shallow, clear water is ideal for floating and snorkeling, and it is a favorite of locals on weekends.
Gilligan’s Island is Cayo Aurora, one of the Cayos de Caña Gorda islets, within the Guánica State Forest. Mangroves ring the island, and shallow turquoise channels surround it. You can float in the water or snorkel by the rocks to see fish. The island has simple picnic tables and restrooms but no food or drink service. A small ferry from the Caña Gorda area near Guánica takes about 10 minutes. The round-trip fare is extra, and the island has an entry cap. It is about 40 km from Cabo Rojo and can be combined with a visit to the Guánica Dry Forest.
