In the morning, we visited a lighthouse and a beach at Rincon. The lighthouse had beautifully manicured grounds, and some spectacular views of the ocean. We enjoyed the ocean breeze and view. At Rincon, we were able to find a portion of beach with a large shade tree and no other bathers. We took turns sitting and playing in the waves with Lily and looking through the crystal clear water at the coral reef below the water. The beach was sandy, but the ocean floor was hard, prickly and uneven from the coral reef. Red and black sea urchins were living in the reef's crevices. We promised ourselves that next time we go to the beach, we'll take a snorkel and goggles!We returned home along the north coast.

We'd planned to stop at the Arecibo Radio Telescope but ran out of time. It is amazing to realize the incredible natural diversity within the small confines of this island, and makes us marvel at the Lord's handiwork and design in creation.
