El Ojo del Buey

El Ojo del Buey features a long stretch of white sand beach bordered by green vegetation and met by the clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

The beach marks the location where the La Plata River, Puerto Rico's longest waterway, meets the Atlantic Ocean, creating a natural boundary between fresh and salt water.

The name of this beach originates from a large rock formation that resembles an ox's head, which stands as a natural landmark for local fishermen.

Visitors can access the beach via Highway 693 from Dorado to Highway 698, with designated parking areas and basic facilities including showers and restrooms.

Archaeological excavations near the beach have revealed pre-Columbian artifacts, indicating the area's importance to indigenous communities before European arrival.
