On a scenic drive around the south east tip of Puerto Rico be sure to get out of your car on the 'Faro Playa' beach, just west of the Punta Tuna lighthouse. At the very western end of the beach the sluggish river lets out into the sea through this lovely marsh. The whole area is very beautiful and the lighthouse is visible to the east from the beach. The waters are too rough and sometimes dirty from the river, so this is not a good place to swim. You should not get wet in the river, due to schistosomiasis.
