Perched on the northwestern tip of Puerto Rico, Punta Borinquen Radar Station is a relic of Cold War surveillance. Visitors explore the abandoned radar domes and bunkers while taking in panoramic ocean vistas. The site's isolation and dramatic coastal scenery make it a unique spot for photography and quiet reflection. Interpretive signs detail its military history, and the adjacent cliffs provide prime whale-watching during migration season.

Don't miss

  • Explore the abandoned radar domes and bunkers with original equipment still in place.
  • Take in panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and Mona Passage from the cliffside.
  • Spot humpback whales from December to March during their migration.
