The first time (2005), It took my breath away!!! It was so beautiful and the beach was just awesome. I recently went there and was so sad to see that the place is not being taken care of. The views are still breath taking and worth the rocky drive (scared your rental will get caught in a hole and the path has not been paved). I hope that next time I go, there is improvements in the maintance of the lighthouse and grass. The beach was still awesome! Took some beautiful pictures near the rocks along the beach to the lighthouse:) I have been to this lighthouse 3 times. The first time (2005), It took my breath away!!!

The last time I was so dramatically impressed with a new discovery in PR, was when I visited Las Cavernas de Camuy for the first time. It immediately made it to my list of favorite things in Puerto Rico. As Gwenn wrote in the article, it was "breathtakingly beautiful." Make sure you have a camera, because you will want to capture the spectacular views. Guard rails would add to the safety, but would detract from the natural beauty of the place, so I'm glad they are not present. But be very conscious of your footing, because if you are careless and get too close to the edge, I believe it's a matter of life and death. This isn't the Grand Canyon, but getting close to the edge causes a similar reaction of awe, where you feel it in your chest and gut. It really does take your breath away. When I went we got hung up getting there, so we arrived later than I intended. We arrived with an hour or two of daylight left, so we didn't get to enjoy the beach, asided from taking a few pictures. The lighthouse was closed, too, which was no big deal. The beach is calm, pretty, and very tranquil waters, just like my wife likes it. Great even for small kids. My visit was very comfortable as far as the heat/sun, but if you go during the day, be prepared to deal with the sun. Considering the walk to and from, and your time there, it can get uncomfortably hot. Even more reason to incorporate the beach into your visit. It really is a spectacular place, and I would recommend everybody work it while in PR.
