Just get there early enough to snag one of the shade trees and you are set for a lovely day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This beautiful public beach sits a short walk (or drive) from the colorful beach town of Boquer\u00f3n, which bustles with shops, restaurants, bars (of course; this is Puerto Rico, after all), and a bunch of sidewalk kiosks. It\u2019s quiet during the week but very lively (and loud) on weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A big beach cleanup and reconstruction project to fix the damage inflicted by Hurricane Maria in 2018 is starting this month, so Boquer\u00f3n should become even nicer very soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Definitely worth a visit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">INFO<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/D3sjm3k8RwQ18AZC9\" target=\"_blank\">Balneario Boquer\u00f3n<\/a> (described from a local\u2019s point of view)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MAPS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/D3sjm3k8RwQ18AZC9\" target=\"_blank\">Balneario Boquer\u00f3n<\/a><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/unnap6eXh2Sf5BiU6\" target=\"_blank\">Boquer\u00f3n Town<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s a reason why Puerto Ricans put Boquer\u00f3n at the top of their list of things to do in Cabo Rojo, the southwestern part of Puerto Rico.
