Culture-vultures should look elsewhere: Fajardo has few interesting historical artifacts and
little indigenous culture. The area's best activities can be enjoyed on the beach, in or under
the water, or at the small but illuminating Las Cabezas de San Juan nature reserve.
The city is quite spread out and most navigation will require a vehicle. Hwy 3 divides
the city and connects you to other roads leading to popular attractions. Taking Rte 195 from
Hwy 3 will bring you to the ferry docks; follow signs that say 'Embarcadero' or 'ferry' un-
til arriving at Rte 987. There the roads split at a toe-tappingly-long traffic light: continuing
straight on Rte 195 goes to the docks, while turning left onto Rte 987 passes Villa Marina
and eventually brings you to the beach, the nature reserve and Las Croabas.
Buy a good road map if you plan to venture far off Hwy 3, as the rural roads can be con-
fusing.
