Have you wanted to explore the northern ecological corridor of Puerto Rico?
Tourism is an important component of the Puerto Rican economy, supplying an approximate US $1.8 billion per year. The main benefits of tourism are income creation and generation of jobs. For many regions and countries it is the most important source of welfare. After Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, tourism was seen by experts as a way to quickly inject money into the economy.
“Although the tourism industry has been able to quickly recover in many areas, countless tourism facilities have yet to reopen or have done so partially.” reads Administrative Determination 2018-001.
Tourism and recreational activities boost local economies. In Aquadilla, 300 plus acres of precious Puerto Rican gems are maintained by the non profit Rescates Playas Borinquen for everyone to enjoy. Rescate Playas Bourinquen’s 6 year stewardship, is restoring the area into pristine condition through generous volunteer efforts and charitable donations. A few activities to enjoy onsite in the park are:
- Hiking
- Biking
- Whale Watching
- Bird Watching
- Surfing
- Historical Landmarks
- Swimming
There are no facilities at this beach, except for some picnic tables and some trash cans.
From Route 2 in Aguadilla, take Road 107 north. When you get to the Rafael Hernández Airport on your right, look for the end of the runway. Across from that, on your left, you’ll see a road that cuts across the golf course. Follow that road the Borinquen Beach.
