BALNEARIO DE CERRO GORDO

Ten kilometers west of Dorado is one of the most beautiful beaches of the North Coast, almost wild in some places. The Javier Calderón Balneario , better known as "Cerro Gordo" in Vega Alta, is managed by the Puerto Rico National Parks Program. Be very careful if you swim, the currents are extremely strong, except at the balneario, which unfortunately requires a fee (US$ 3). The site has an equipped camping area (95 sites) with showers, toilets, food stands. Prior reservation is required.
