Borinquen Beach, Aguadilla
The other day we helped a friend in Aguada/Aguadilla. When we were finished we decided to go to the beach. I am curious to find Survival Beach, but it was getting late in the afternoon so we headed to one of our favorite beaches: Borinquen! To access it, you must drive through the golf course. It has such a vintage feel to it. In my mind I imagine the glamour of the 50s and 60s. I think maybe it’s the planes flying overhead or the huge cliffs. So we swam for a while and then the lighting was just perfect so Britton took some shots of me as a beach bunny. So fun!
I found this little bikini at Me Salvé for $1! I couldn’t believe it. It probably won’t last long, but for that price it doesn’t have to!

My favorite picture of the bunch!

I even practiced a little yoga on the beach!
Stretch!
We also watched the pelicans diving and then flying high up to their nests in the cliffs. Here’s one of the pelicans on high overlooking the sea.

As often happens, we had the whole beach to ourselves! As the sun began to touch the water, we made a quick stop at the lighthouse ruins. Such a cool place!

Here’s a fun video of our time. Enjoy.
Ah, you’re making me miss Aguadilla. We lived there for 7 or 8 months and had to move back to the states in July due to a family emergency. I miss it oh so much. Borinquen beach always was a favorite of mine. So peaceful. We sat up under the palms many times while the sun went down.
Survivor beach is pretty cool too. The hike over there has TONS of cool rocks to climb on, including ones jutting out into the ocean. We also found a super old hand carved rock grinding stone from back in the day, just abandoned amongst the pile of rocks on the beach. Next time you’re in Aguadilla with nothing to do, take an hour or two and go find Survivor beach. It’s worth the time.
We just discovered this place last Feb. and found it to be fascinatingly beautiful!
