When we came here, the two of us were attracted by the crystal clear water, the fine and soft sand, the fresh and pleasant air, and the dense green plants. Here, even if you do nothing and watch the blue sea and blue sky, you can spend the day happily. The two of us, because we were too timid to play in the water, sat on the beach for a few hours. Haha, it sounded a bit boring, but our hearts were really healed. Of course, the best time to take a photo is at sunset.
Think about it when facing the sea and the setting sun to take a few beautiful photos that look back and smile. There are a lot of lounge chairs on this beach. If you need it, you can walk a short distance and choose the one that suits you. Crash Boat Beach. El Faro Park. You Might Also Like. Click here for more recommended attractions….

The best time to see the beautiful hidden spots of Punta Borinquen, visit during the summer months for the best and safest access to the caves. Be sure to bring good non-slip shoes to find the caves, you will be able to walk there when the tide is low or you may have to swim up. During the winter months, the caves are claimed by the water coming in from strong waves and are typically not accessible or visible, and most definitely not safe to attempt to access.
This lens floated in a pool of mercury to facilitate its rotation. In , the lantern room was removed, and a thirty-six-inch, double-headed Crouse-Hinds beacon , designed to aid both sea and air traffic, replaced the Fresnel lens. In , a right-of-way for a road to the new station was purchased, and a roadway, four meters wide and 2, feet long, was constructed by hired labor. Earthquakes continued to affect Point Borinquen Lighthouse even in its new location.
On May 23, , a severe earthquake broke the mantle being used in the incandescent-oil-vapor lamp. On August 18, , an earthquake extinguished the light and caused some of the mercury used to revolve the lens to slosh out onto the lantern room floor. With quick action, the keepers were able to have the light back in operation in just twelve minutes. Edgerly L. Brewer joined the Coast Guard during World War II, and for the first three weeks of July , he was in charge of eight men who resided in half of the dwelling at Point Borinquen and were tasked with manning a lookout tower and helping with the lighthouse.
A day after arriving at the station, Brewer wrote a letter to his wife describing the station: We have been cleaning up our five of the ten rooms in the house connected with the lighthouse.
It is a one-story concrete building with a hall running through the building with five rooms on either side. The keeper [ Joe Velez ] and his family have half the building and we have the other half. In our galley we have a Servel Electrolux refrigerator that has been here just about two weeks and we have just an old three-burner kerosene stove but are supposed to get a new electric one. Keeper Velez was kind to Edgerley during his short stay, giving him fresh fruit and inviting him to eat some pea soup made of peas, beans, okra, peepers, rice, and ox tongue.
Jeff Bryant served as officer-in-charge of Punta Borinquen Lighthouse in , and when he left in December of that year, responsibility for turning the light on and off was transferred to the nearby air station. The Coast Guard had tried to automate the lighthouse but the relays would not take the load, so manual intervention was still needed. Shortly after Jeff Bryant first arrived at Punta Borinquen he reported for duty one morning after being out drinking the night before.
