About 1 hour away, south towards Ponce. An amazing hike either in or out of the water. Absolutely beautiful with the white rocks against the backdrop of lush, green vegetation and typical bright blue skies! Many opportunities for great photos! Parking is minimal, but free and is just on the side of the road, but a short walk to the cañon. Also, pay attention to the weather. If it is raining nearby, the water does move swiftly and it could be dangerous to get washed down the river. Otherwise, choose a nice day and you will have a beautiful experience!

Just a few minutes down the road from Besos de Sol, this beautiful trail leads to gorgeous views of cliffs along the ocean. There is an "official" parking area, but they charge a ridiculous amount for parking. We recommend parking on the side of the road just a bit west of that entrance and walking in. The coast is open to the public, so no one has the right to charge you to go see it.

An hour away, this is a great place to spend the day. It is a great beach to surf at or take lessons from the local surf shop. This beach has nice amenities and restaurant options. Because it is just a touch more touristy, it does cost a little more than if you're just wanting to live like a local. Parking is just on the side of the road and can be more difficult on the weekend or a holiday.
