El Nuevo Horizonte
Just a mile or two west of Parador Costa del Mar, the view rarely gets better than it does from this place. This restaurant is perched high on the mountainside overlooking the Caribbean. You can smell the asopao de langosta (lobster stew) cooking 200yd before you get here. A cauldron of the stew will set you back about $18 and serves at least two people.

Playa Lucía
The balneario at Playa Lucía, near the intersection of Hwy 901 and Hwy 9911 in Yabucoa, has great shade under its coconut trees and several little beach bar-restaurants just off its premises. El Cocal is one of the few good surfing spots in the area (ask for directions at the balneario).

Hacienda de Santa Lucía
Off Hwy 901 along the coast, you can ponder the ruins of Hacienda de Santa Lucía, an old sugar plantation a mile north of Playa Lucía. Don't expect a haunted mansion; there's only one wall left. Central Roig is the still active, old-time sugar hacienda and mill on the same road.

El Mar de la Tranquilidad
Once the road returns to sea level (heading west), look for this establishment on the seaward side of Hwy 3. Beer on the outdoor terrace is a rare pleasure, and you can get salmorejo de jueyes (land crab in tomato sauce), lobster and some decent cocktails.

Faro Punta Tuna
Lovers and solitary types like the view from the base of the Faro Punta Tuna, the lighthouse just southeast of Maunabo. From Hwy 901, take Hwy 760 toward the ocean. A path leads down to the extremely secluded Playa Larga.
