HIS WILD AND DRAMATIC REGION BOASTS
some of the most beautiful
coastal scenery in Puerto Rico. To the north lies Rincón, a resort town
known for its stunning sunsets, excellent whale-watching during winter, and
world-class surfing. Uninhabited and rugged Isla Mona is a wildlife refuge
surrounded by coral reefs that draw
divers, while bird-watchers flock to
Boquerón Bird Refuge and the salt
flats around Cabo Rojo. The village
of La Parguera offers exciting boat
trips to Bahía de Fosforescente, named
for its bioluminescent waters. Moca,
which lies inland, is a center for
traditional lace production, Mayagüez
has a fine plaza and zoo, and the
town of San Germán draws visitors
keen on colonial architectural gems.
