It took some damage during Hurricane María in 2017 and then during the January 2020 earthquakes. You can see some structures such as the bbq pits destroyed (I wish I had taken a picture). I don't know if the ferry is operational again. However, if you have a kayak, paddleboard or boat, you can access the island. That is what we did this past weekend. We were staying with some friends at Copamarina Beach Resort. We rented two kayaks and paddled out there. It takes about 20min each way. When we arrived there weren't many people there. It was so quiet and peaceful. It was as close as you could get to having the place to yourself. We found a nice spot and chilled. The kids loved it too. The next day we returned with drinks and snacks (we took all the trash back with us to the resort). We encountered some curious iguanas which we had to fend off so they wouldn't approach our food. Still, it was a fun day.

Our first full day in the area, we drove over here to see the hidden beauty. There's a lake located in the middle and there are plenty of paths to take, where you can see the iguanas or find a secluded spot on the pristine beach with crystal blue water. On some days you have to pay $2 per person. The day we visited, we didn't have to pay. You drive very slowly through the park and find a nice spot to leave your car and then just walk through any of the paths, to the beautiful beach. I would suggest finding a shaded spot for the car so that you're not entering an oven after a long day in the sun. One morning I went for a run down here. Families start arriving pretty early, in order to grab choice spots. There are no vendors on this side, so you should bring your own coolers and snacks. It's a nice place to be away from the water toys and loud beach goers, that you would find on the other side. We brought babes down here with her floaty and she had a blast in the blue water. They start closing up around 430p so make sure you have your stuff together and you're ready to leave. They make a last drive through to ensure everyone has left and then they lock the gates. Definitely a must visit.

There's always space available and getting there early now is crucial because now the little green forest has a river canal that brings in the brown water during the early afternoon but in the morning the water is crystal clear. They also have a food stand that also has restrooms if need be. Please if you visit this beautiful peaceful beach bring an extra garbage bag to take your trash out when you're done, the garbage is located by the food stand by the smoking section. Parking outside is either paid or if you get there early you can find a spot outside of the parking lot like I did.

The water is refreshing and a perfect temperature (April/may). Some spots have seaweed clusters but you can easily find space without it. The water is clear for the most part. I would not do the rentals because I think the price is too expensive because the boat doesn't go out far. They also have people walking up and down the beach selling mojitos! $6 so I would bring some extra liquor if you planned on drinking because they don't have much in them.

Island Venture is the one and only ferry that takes the public to and from Caja de Muertos. Only…read moreone ferry sets sail each day. The only other way to get there is by private boat. Launching from La Guancha, the dock was easy to get to and there was plenty of parking. For $28 roundtrip (as of 12/16), it was a value excursion! On this uninhabited island, there are no stores or vendors. Bring your own food, drinks, and beach comfort items. The ferry does sell drinks, some alcoholic beverages, snacks, and food (hot dogs and kebabs). You have to preorder the food in the morning and they'll cook it up fresh while you go play on the island, serving lunch at noon. For $60, you get roundtrip transportation and twelve meal and drink tickets (two tickets for food items, one ticket for snacks and drinks, including beer). The prices onboard are actually quite reasonable, so the meal tickets really aren't that much of a deal, in my opinion. You can also rent beach chairs and snorkeling gear from Island Ventures at very affordable prices. On this gorgeous island, we wanted to do it all! We wanted to hike to the lighthouse, explore the caves, play at the beach...everything! But we somehow couldn't get away from the water. We played at the beach, snorkeled, and then beached again. Snorkeling gear was only ten bucks to rent (as of 12/16), but because I can't swim and needed a life vest, I paid another two bucks for the whole shebang. While we were close to coral along the shore, it wasn't the best snorkeling environment. Not a lot of wildlife around all those human types that lined the shores. There were many fish under the dock, so we carefully explored that area. The water is a brilliant turquoise, but not very clear (it wasn't dirty, it just wasn't crystal clear), so it was often times difficult to see, even from a short distance away. Ferry leaves La Guancha at 8:30 AM on the dot, so get there early to check in and grab a seat. The forty-five minute ride each way is pretty smooth. Ferry leaves the island at 3:30 PM. That's almost six hours on the island! For us, it was just right. A perfect day on a gorgeous island with an attentive ferry staff.

The Island itself is 5 + stars, but one of the only ways to get there (Island Ventures) knocks it down a star. Island Venture Ferry Basics -- $25 per person which includes two drink tickets (can be claimed for Medalla Light, Coors Light, or soda). You can also upgrade your ticket for $10 and get 15 drink tickets (!) --Boat leaves from La Guancha at 8:30am (but you must arrive by 7:40am) and from the island at 3:30 (boards at 3). Ride takes about 45 minutes and has a lower level with shade. --They also sell hot dogs and kebabs and rent umbrellas on the ship and the ship stays docked there so you can continue to purchase drinks/food while you're on the island. Caveats: --The company holds weird hours and are hard to get a hold of, especially if you don't speak Spanish. --Their online booking system can be glitchy, my friend's reservation got mixed up for the wrong day. --Spots book up fast, book early! --They charge a fee for coolers (although we had soft/bag style coolers and were not charged). --We shared the boat with a school trip...so yea, there's that. ISLAND --AWESOME. --Walk up (down? into?) the cave. --Walk up to the lighthouse for some AMAZING views (30 minutes, bring water, we did it in flip flops but prob shouldn't have). --Love life on the beach. Watch out for jellyfish though! --Snorkel! (Not the best I've seen, but still cool). --Admire cacti and wildlife (hermit crabs and lizards everywhere!) During some seasons there are apparently sea turtles nesting! --Pack a picnic and enjoy it on the picnic tables! They also have compost "bathrooms." They smell and don't have soap, but there's TP! --Avoid the small beach to the left of the dock (if you're facing the island)-loaded with bugs! --Perfect day trip and one of my favorite activities from our Puerto Rico trip! ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND. Must go!

Absolutely stunning! The views from the street just outside the parking area are breathtaking, and…read morethe "Yo Aguadilla" sign is perfect for memorable photos. Pro tip: arrive before 9:45 AM to get parking close by. If possible, visit Monday through Thursday to avoid the crowds--weekends get very busy, but the vibe is still amazing. There are plenty of kiosks with food and drinks, but don't miss the guy selling drinks in a bag... easily one of the best $12 you'll spend! There's also a pier where you can jump into the water, adding a fun, adventurous touch. Just make sure you're a strong swimmer, as the currents can be strong. A must-visit spot if you're in the area--highly recommended!

Even though it's public, it's often very calm and empty; probably because it's surrounded by a campground and people often think they have to be renting a cabin on the campgrounds in order to visit it, but this is not the case. This beach is very clean, has plenty of trashcans, and is located on the West coast of Puerto Rico, being a great place to watch the sunset. Has playgrounds nearby and plenty of parking if you go into the campgrounds (entering is free, staying on the cabins, you have to contact "Centro Vacacional de Añasco".
