Beginning in January of 2023, my wife Zoraida and I started visiting a different town in Puerto Rico every two weeks. That means that it will take us over 3 years to visit all 78 municipalities (taking into account unforeseen events such as climate and health issues. We started in the town of Carolina, going clockwise around the municipality of San Juan. Why didn't we cover San Juan (you might ask)? Because that's where Puerto Rico By GPS started, so we thought we could give it a rest and return in a near future as needed. As of June of 2025 we have covered 40 municipalities and the adventure continues.

Others come for the beaches, of which Puerto Rico has some of the best in the world. Sadly, like so many other places around the world, the effects of erosion caused by rising sea levels are slowly affecting Puerto Rican beaches. This week we visited the small town of Maunabo, on the southeastern end of Puerto Rico. It’s the kind of place that banks on its natural beauty, not on architectural marvels or amusement areas. Maunabo is simply beautiful. It also has the only black sand beach on the larger Island. The other one is on the souther coast of the smaller island of Vieques. I haven’t visited the one in Vieques lately but erosion is starting to rear its ugly head at Playa Los Bohíos in Maunabo. Then there’s Punta Tuna, a beautiful lighthouse that could easily be a worldwide attraction. Close by is Playa Larga, a very long beach (hence the name) that extends along the Punta Tuna Nature Reserve. If you’re a landscape photographer like me you’ll love Maunabo, because there’s eye candy all around you. Watch this video to the end and you’ll understand what I mean.
