Playa Caña Gorda
Playa Caña Gorda is the balneario adjacent to the southern edge of the dry forest on Hwy 333 and where the locals come to grill fresh fish, play volleyball and lie around in the shade. The modern facilities are the most developed in the area, including a small shop with cold soda and sunblock.

Cafeteria El Aleman
If you’re of the mindset that you’re not truly vacationing in the Caribbean until you’re sipping a high-octane rum drink out of a coconut, this tiny roadside cafeteria is the answer to your prayers. Patrons park themselves on stools at the shoulder of the road, choose their coconut (and their poison – the house recommends Cutty Shark) and order thick, homemade sandwiches and sundry comida criollas.

Blue Marlin Restaurant
Rather than breaking the bank on the fancy place at the Copamarina, try this family-run restaurant on the malecón. Locals consider it the best, with a large outdoor deck and economic seaside drinking ($1.50 Medalla beers). If you ask for the freshest catch, your waiter will most likely bring you something that was in the water only a few hours earlier.

Bosque Estatal de Guánica
The immense 10,000-acre expanse of the Guánica Biosphere Reserve is one of the island's great natural treasures and a blank slate for the outdoor enthusiast. Trails of various lengths and difficulty make loops from the visitors center, lending themselves to casual hikes, mountain biking, bird-watching and broad views of the Caribbean.

Restaurante San Jacinto
At the Gilligan’s Island ferry landing, this beach bar and eatery has sandwiches, seafood and chicken, as well as outdoor tables and bench seating. It gets mobbed on weekends with day-trippers going or returning from the ferry. Order cheap to-go options outside for lunch, or head to the nautical interior for a more expensive dinner.
