Boquerón, Puerto Rico Boquerón is a beach resort area, a sector of the city of Cabo Rojo. Boquerón began as a small village populated mainly by fishermen, some of whom sold their catch on the road that joined the village to Cabo Rojo. Some of the visitors, impressed with the friendly village people and the beauty of its palm-lined beaches, came back with their friends time and time again. After a few years, a tourist industry has developed. Restaurants in the area offer fresh seafood and other Puerto Rican dishes at quite reasonable prices. Street vendors offer fresh oysters and typical Puerto Rican fritters such as alcapurrias, sorullitos and empanadillas. Balneario de Boquerón is a public beach with a large parking area and one of the most beautiful beaches around Boquerón bay. Inside the balneario is a state government managed string of rental apartments. Attractive rental rates and its location right on the beach make these apartments very popular. However, reservations must be made exactly three months in advance and people line up at the reservations office. There are many other options, though, all at fairly reasonable rates.
