The West Coast of Puerto Rico (known as “Porta del Sol”) offers some of the world's best beaches.  When you take a trip out west to Porta del Sol, make sure you discover its major attractions: Isabela, Aguadilla, Rincón (with its lighthouse park) and Añasco offer some of the world’s great surfing areas and beaches. The small towns of Moca, Aguada and Hormigueros are known for their beautiful handicrafts. San Sebastian, Las Marías and Maricao represent fascinating examples of the mountainous towns dedicated to agriculture. In the port city of Mayagüez, you can enjoy a first-rate zoo, historic theater and beautiful city plaza. The Cabo Rojo area (Joyuda, Boquerón, El Combate and Mona) entices visitors with its beautiful beaches, excellent seafood and the Boquerón Wildlife refuge, a paradise for bird-watchers. Unique architecture helps to define San German; its neighbor Sabana Grande is considered the gateway to the Luis Muñoz Marín Panoramic Route. Lajas (a major pineapple producer) includes La Parguera, which attracts divers and water sports fans. And Guánica offers nature trails in the Guánica Dry Forest (a World Biosphere Reserve) and the clear waters of Gilligan’s Island.
 
Aguadilla, where our condo is located, is known as the "Garden of the Atlantic." The name comes from the colorful sponges and marine life prevalent in this area. It is also internationally known for its world-class surfing beaches. Aguadilla’s most popular surfing beaches are Gas Chambers and Wilderness. Crash Boat Beach, directly below the condo, is famous for its crystal clear waters.  Other spectacular and almost desolated beaches are nearby (5-15 minutes). Visit the “Punta Borinquen Golf Course" located on cliffs overlooking the Aguadilla Bay and only a 10 minute drive from Puerta del Mar Villas. Shopping, horseback riding, SCUBA diving, snorkeling, and many other tourist attractions and activities are nearby.
