Loved it. We stayed with At the Waves which is a beautiful beachfront rental unit complex located in Santa Maria Playa. Cook your own meals in the kitchen and save money. Or use the At The Waves poolside grill. If you visit some of the many remote beaches with your family, we recommend sending an adult scout first. We discovered a couple..."coupling". The stage of the moon preempts the Bio Bay tours so check on that before you go. Great snorkeling! But look out for sea urchins on the beaches of Santa Maria Playa...

This protected anchorage was a mile long and half mile wide we stayed a week and except for one one other boat we were along the whole time. We explored all the mangrove areas along the shore line, and walked the park roads to several smaller bays and beaches in the area. we also sailed into Sun Bay. Several months later while in Fajardo, we took the ferry into Isabel Segunda. We enjoyed the Island very much. In 1991 while returning from the Virgins to Mainland P.R. we has to check in with the Navy and keep a 5 mile NO SAIL zone around the bombing range. Many of the Protected areas on the east end of the island are covered in unexploded military ordnance. This will keep the tourist out forever. it's where the wild things live.

We did a night dive there one time & it was & still remains one of the most memorable dives ever. Clear water, vibrant reefs, & moderate surf....what more can a diver ask for?
