Dorado, Administrative division in California, United States.
Dorado is a municipality in Puerto Rico located on the island's northern coast with views toward the Atlantic. The area combines urban development with coastal landscapes and functions as a local administrative center.
The municipality was founded during Spanish colonial times and kept its name due to early economic activities in the region. The area later developed into a modern administrative unit within Puerto Rico's structure.
The name comes from Spanish, meaning golden, reflecting the area's historical connection to gold mining and agricultural wealth during earlier centuries.
The municipality is easily reached from the capital San Juan and offers basic services for both visitors and residents. Best times to visit are the dry seasons when outdoor activities are more comfortable and coastal areas are easier to access.
The area is known for its beaches and coastal trails that locals often use for relaxation and water sports activities. These natural coastal features draw visitors seeking laid-back ocean views and sandy shores.
