Like to visit lighthouses. Visited Arecibo, Aguadailla (Punta Boriquen) and Rincon on this visit. Aguadilla are really ruins of a lighthouse.

Last time we went it was being remodeled. The completed park is very nice with beautiful views of the ocean. A nice place to watch the surfers. We were able to buy some empanadillas and pinchos from a vendor which we ate on the benches.

The view is not as impressive as the Cabo Rojo Lighthouse but nonetheless, it's nice and well kept.

We loved the area by the lighthouse. It's an amazing spot to go watch the sun setting before dinner.

I assumed this was a lighthouse you climb up to the top, but it was roped off. The views from the area are gorgeous, but the lighthouse was a bit of let down. We did buy some sea-glass jewelry from a vendor in the parking lot, which was nice.

When you are driving along the beach on 413 this is a great landmark. It will only take about 20-30 minutes to see but you can walk on the beach, check out the local vendors selling gifts and food and drink. A nice photo stop while in Rincon on the 413.
