  El Camino Grande is a beautiful place for a relaxing and fun filled vacation. It's right on Table Rock Beach so you can look out at the beautiful Mona strait where the Atlantic meets the Caribbean. The view is breathtaking, you can see all the way from the North East corner of the island where the Aguadilla lighthouse is to the Rincon peninsula. The picturesque island of Descubierte is to the west. It's in the quaint little fishing village of Aguada where Columbus landed, and the popular tourist and surfer destination of Rincon is ten minutes away. I loved taking photos of the sun setting on it every night. Every day the ocean is different. I've seen manatees, sea turtles, porpoises right offshore. I haven't seen whales yet but the neighbors say they swim by often in January and February. You can fish right off the shore. I caught Red Snapper, Snook and eel. You can snorkel around Table Rock beach when the water is right, usually in the morning before the tropical breezes arrive. It's a great place to kayak. I don't surf, but I really enjoyed watching the surfers when they came. I was told by locals that when the wind and waves are right Table Rock is considered the premiere spot on the island for experienced surfers, and a world class surfing destination. Every day we found sea glass and sea shells on the sand at low tide. There was fishing gear, a kayak, hammocks, life jackets and snorkeling gear available for rent. I saw many birds right on the property, many species of sea birds, storks, cranes, herons, frigate birds, etc. Also parrots, orioles, humming birds, and other creatures like coqui frogs, geckos, iguanas, crabs, butterflies and fireflies. We had a lot of fun exploring the island. Beaches, caves, jungles, waterfalls, phosphorescent lagoons, Old San Juan, San German, churches, museums and lots of quaint mountain villages. Yunque National Park is a must see destination, absolutely beautiful. There are great restaurants of every kind we really enjoyed when we weren't cooking in the great kitchen at the house or using the brick oven to bake our own pizza or barbecuing our days catch on the grill. Ivan, a private chef, made some amazing meals for us as well. One of our favorite things to do was at the end of the day to get in the beach side pool. I liked to rest my arms on the pool edge and watch the sun go down on the water. We've been all over the world and stayed in some amazing places. El Camino Grande is one of them.

  Beautiful beach front property! Everything is new and it feels like a 5 star hotel. Large enough for an entire family! Directly on Table Rock Beach and a huge yard. The pools are perfect for cooling off as well as the outdoor patio.
