Fringed by pristine beaches, Bosque Estatal De Boqueron is the crown jewel of Puerto Rico's national park network. Birders will jump at the chance to visit Refugio de Boqueron, a lush mangrove forest that's home to over 60 species, including migratory ducks, ospreys, mangrove canaries and endangered yellow-shouldered blackbirds. As well as boardwalks, the sanctuary is also laced with paddling routes that wind through the mangroves and feed into shimmering Boqueron Bay. Refugio de Vida Silvestre Iris L. Alameda Martinez de Boqueron is another local sanctuary providing the chance to spot a myriad of birds.
One of Puerto Rico's only Blue Flag beaches, Balneario Boqueron stretches for over 1 mile. The golden stretch of sand is fringed by swaying coconut palms, lush almond trees and a grassy foreshore. On weekends you'll see locals enjoying sun-dappled picnics and beachside reggae jam sessions. For a more secluded scene, head to Playa Buye, a jungle-fringed beach that feels like a slice of Caribbean paradise. Want to maximize your time on the beach? From spacious villas to compact condos, Boqueron vacation rentals put you just steps from the sand.
Winter is high season on Puerto Rico and Boqueron is no exception. Crowds peak from December to April, when Boqueron vacation rentals fill up fast with sunseekers and snowbirds.

While it sits in the Caribbean, Boqueron is an unincorporated US territory. It's on the south-west tip of the island, around 120 miles from San Juan. The town is set on Bahia de Boqueron, a sweeping bay that faces the Dominican Republic. Boqueron Bay Beach is just steps from the village and is considered one of Puerto Rico's top stretches of sand. Whether you snag a beach chair, string up a hammock, or claim a patch of sand, it's easy to whittle away an afternoon. You'll also find yourself just a few miles from Cabo Rojo, another of Puerto Rico's most coveted beach towns.
