Access
|
No walk |
You can only get there by boat. You can go from Punta de Piedras or El Yaque, about 45 min with a speed boat. The spot is like on El Coche, but normally you will be alone.
Extra information
There is no village on the island. Make sure to have a boat with you that stays with you, since the wind is always offshore, in case you need rescue.
