El Ojo del Buey

El Ojo del Buey is a beach in Dorado featuring a long stretch of white sand backed by green vegetation and washed by clear Atlantic waters. The shoreline has areas suitable for swimming and relaxation, with natural features distributed along its length.

The beach marks where the Rio de la Plata, Puerto Rico's longest river, meets the Atlantic Ocean and creates a natural boundary between fresh and salt water. This geographic feature has made the area historically significant to communities in the region.

The name comes from a large rock formation shaped like an ox's head, which serves as a natural landmark that local fishermen have used for generations. This distinctive feature has become part of how people identify and talk about this place.

The beach is accessible via Highway 693 from Dorado to Highway 698, where designated parking areas are available. Basic facilities such as showers and restrooms are provided for visitors.

Archaeological excavations near the beach have uncovered pre-Columbian artifacts that reveal the area's importance to indigenous communities before European contact. These discoveries show that this location has a deep history of human settlement and activity.
