Playa Wilderness

Aguadilla


Rough, lonely Playa Wilderness is a favorite with surfers. Off Hwy 107 to the left (west) as you follow the road north from Aguadilla to the Ramey Base, you will see the golf course on your left and a road that heads west through the golf course. Follow this road and pass an old lighthouse ruin to reach the beach.

The small stretch of sand here is often deserted and there are no facilities.
