Sol Rico Guidebook
Neighborhoods
From Columbus to Earthships.
If you want to get off the beaten path on Puerto Rico’s west coast check out Aguada, a small town tucked between surfer havens Rincón and Aguadilla. There you'll find beautiful beaches, an eclectic restaurant scene, and less buzz than its more publicized neighbors. Curiously, there's also a Mayan-style pyramid, a 16th-century chapel, and modern, eco-friendly Earthships being built.

Perfect for happy hour, lunch and/or sunset dinner! Less than a mile walk down the beach going left towards Aguada. It’s easier to get around the rocks if you go during low tide!
