The West Coast of Puerto Rico is a surfer's paradise. The water is clear and the waves crash down creating a perfect place for laid back surfer's to vacation and to live. It is also expensive. For those of us on a tight budget, which seems to be almost every American in this day and age, look no further than the Northwestern tip of Puerto Rico, and in specific, the small town of Aguadilla. Located at 18°25'57.97"N latitude and 67° 9'21.04"W longitude, the Aguadilla Bay has a beautiful beach, the crowds are thin, and the hotels are cheap and independent. This is the real surfer's paradise. The tidal range is perfect for enjoying the beach from -.1 to 1.1 meters and the sediment type is coarse, unconsolidated littoral sediment. As for the waves, surfers cannot go wrong with a 90% chance of a 1.7 meter wave. So if you are looking for a great vacation spot, hop on a flight to the Rafael Hernández Airport, only minutes from Aguadilla Bay, and enjoy the natural beach it has to offer.
