    Arecibo Lighthouse and Historical Park

    As a lighthouse snob, I was initially displeased with the idea of a lighthouse being located in a…read morekid-friendly park. However, it works in this instance. It helps that the lighthouse is located on a hill which distances it from the replicas of pirate ships, huts, and caves. There's plenty to love and hate about this park. I went to the park on a Tuesday, I did not see any other guests while I was there. This may be why there was no one available to collect my admission at the entrance for about 15 minutes. Another staff member sat on his cart waiting at the entrance and appeared to radio for help. This would have been okay except I really needed a restroom pit stop after the drive. The admissions clerk spoke English which was not necessary but helpful. There are restrooms by the lighthouse and by the cafe. The bathroom was clean, but there was no soap. Since there were no other customers, I was able to just relax for over an hour just taking in the ocean views and enjoying the breeze. For solo female travelers during the week, this feels safer than some of the isolated beaches nearby (I could just be overcautious). The lighthouse appears to be well-kept. The small museum was open inside the lighthouse, but there wasn't an option to climb the lighthouse. Not sure if they offer this option on the weekends though. I mainly stopped for the lighthouse, but since I was there, I checked the rest of the park out. The area with the huts was cool and provided historical info. However, the cave could use some major improvement. It's almost too dark. If it's going to be that dark, the signs with historical info need to be illuminated properly. The fish tanks need cleaning!!! Also, only one door was open. When I reached the end of the cave, that door was locked. This seems like a fire hazard. Two exits need to be open whenever the exhibit is open. Just imagine the chaos that could ensure on busier days when families are there and there is a fire or emergency. The cave, the "gift shop," and the long wait for admission to be collected caused the loss of 2 stars. I do love that the lighthouse is well maintained since it is in this park especially since 6 out of 15 lighthouses in PR are in dire need of restoration. Although it gets a 3 star rating, I would definitely return for just the ocean views and the lighthouse.

    We accessed Survival Beach via a 2 mile trail to see the sea caves on the way. The sea caves were…read moreawesome! At the end of the trail was the beach and it was incredibly blue and clean. The waves are definitely aggressive and I wouldn't risk going further out than about 30 feet because the sand quickly changes to bedrock and you would risk getting extremely injured if swept under by a wave.

    If you are reading this because you are thinking to go to survival beach, please allow me to share…read morebelow: - You need to finish a REAL HIKE to get to the beach. - I'd rate this hike as MODERATE to DIFFICULT. As of August 2025, this hike is OVERGROWN and not clearly marked, imho. The info board says that it takes 30-min but it took us 45-min one-way. - You need to have closed toe shoes and sufficient water. I think one thing is about managing your expectations which may not be fully shown disclosed in certain tik tok videos: - The view is descent, but the waves are aggressive. - The beach is not crowded since it is a bit off the beaten path - BUT does it really worth packing two types of shoes (sportswear and beachwear), 90-min hiking in the jungle, and risks of washing away by aggressive waves. Overall, I'd NOT recommend this beach to my friends unless he/she is adventurous and physically fit.

    If you saw the Anthony Bourdain No Reservations, PR episode you know the story about the man who…read morelost his cow through an ocean blowhole at Isabela. Having followed Anthony to the Tiki Bar in Hawaii, and other places, and having preceded him to Popotla Beach in Baja, and other places, we were determined to find the Isabela blowhole. In typical fashion, Mr. Bourdain was a little cryptic about his locations, and that didn't help. We searched and searched and searched and finally found the blowhole. A sign would come in handy, but noooooooooo. The Isabela Blowhole is located in a rocky and sandy shoreline area called Baño La Princesa, which is just north of Jobos Beach. You park at the bottom by the beach restaurants and you walk up the hill - and there it is. But it wasn't blowin'. Blowholes can be that way. To work their best magic, they need a high tide, a decent swell and strong winds. Oh yes, and a hole or two in the rock. Hawaii does good blowholes with that lava rock. The blowholes I currently remember seeing are: Spouting Horn, west of Poipu, Kauai; Halona Blow Hole, south end of Sandy Beach, Oahu; Nakalele Blow Hole, West Maui; La Bufadora, north of Ensanada, Baja MX, and; the Kiama Blowhole south of Sydney, Australia (up to 60 meters high). Maybe I'm a blowhole groupie. It's beginning to sound that way. Sorry my pictures suck on this one. Blurry and all. When it 'aint blowin', what do you really take a picture of anyway? This non-performing hole is lucky to get three stars. But I have been kinda hard on PR the Welfare Island, so it gets a break on this one.

    Definitely worth checking out if you are in Isabella! It is an old folk tale of this man who lost…read morehis cow at the blow hole. It has a great view of the beach and isn't a far walk from parking. It's a little rocky so I suggest sneakers. Fun little spot!
