Beach day
Crash Boat beach is one of the most popular beaches on Puerto Rico's west coast and Aguadilla's crowning gem. Its turquoise waters make this beginner diving spot ideal for snorkeling, swimming, and even surfing during the summer. Crash Boat’s vibrant scene has dubbed it the island’s party beach, where you can hear music, and hop around the kiosks and food stands that are lined up around the pier.

Adventure/hiking day
Picturesque series of waterfalls & bathing ponds in a forest setting, with nearby parking.
Take an easy hike to a "locals-only" pristine 60 ft waterfall on the West end of Puerto Rico.
Gozalandia Falls, located in San Sebastian, Puerto Rico features a 60ft+ tall waterfall as the main attraction. The area also has an 'upper-falls' with another swimming area and rope swing. Both tend to get full-on hot summer days, so come early and stay for lunch!
The main falls feature a small half-submerged cave to dive or swim into. You can also take a leap of faith and climb the waterfall to a point where the locals jump from. The path can be slippery but doable with water shoes and the assistance of the ropes that are tied off throughout the falls. This area also features a shallow area where many families come with children - it is big enough for 30 people to hang out comfortably.
The jump itself is about 30 ft, so if you seek adventure - definitely explore the central falls! Watch a few locals do it first to settle in.
Gozalandia is a little bit of a drive out of the main towns around this area but it is 100% worth the trip! Take a half-day while you are in Aguadilla and take a short 40-minute drive, you won't be disappointed!
