See

Do

The main reason to visit Guanica is the '''beaches'''. Take Route 333 south from the town to reach them. '''Cana Gorda Beach''' is the only one with facilities, but it's only open Tue-Sun.

From San Jacinto, just past Copamarina, you can also hop on a ferry excursion to '''Gilligan's Island''' (aka ''Cayo Cana Gorda''), an undeveloped piece of paradise with white sandy beaches, snorkeling and mangroves.
