Paseo Tablado La Guancha

Paseo Tablado La Guancha is a waterfront recreation complex in Ponce's La Guancha area featuring restaurants, entertainment venues, and an observation tower overlooking Cardona Island Lighthouse. A long boardwalk runs along the Caribbean Sea with a marina where water activities are available.

Mayor Rafael Cordero Santiago initiated construction of this recreation complex, which opened in June 1998. Since then it has become an important gathering place for the community and serves a key role in local economy and leisure.

Local vendors offer traditional Puerto Rican dishes like bacalaitos and empanadillas from waterfront kiosks, while salsa music fills the air on weekends. This spot is where locals gather to spend time with family and friends throughout the year.

Visitors can rent pedal boats and kayaks at the marina or join boat excursions to explore nearby waters and islands. The location is easily accessible and offers ample parking along the boardwalk.

This location serves as a mooring point for local fishing boats and traditional artisanal fishing, visible daily on the water. This connection to fishing heritage gives the place its authentic character and reflects the maritime traditions of the region.
