A Guide to Puerto Rico's Hidden Natural Wonders

"La Parguera is a fishing village in Lajas, Puerto Rico famous for its seafood, surrounding cays, and islets and for hosting a bioluminescent bay. La Parguera features a relaxed atmosphere, with beachside houses and family-owned resorts. This coastal town has preserved the essence and simplicity that characterized the fishing village before the 1950s. Houses line the coast and boats with fishermen come and go. The town center offers a lively ambiance where travelers can enjoy fresh seafood and sample different food kiosks. Located inside the south city, La Parguera Nature Reserve hosts biodiverse ecosystems that consist of mangroves, cays, salt marshes, reefs, and a bioluminescent bay. La Parguera Bioluminescent Bay is one of three bioluminescent bays in Puerto Rico, but it’s the only one that allows visitors to swim in the water. The glowing phenomenon is possibly due to dinoflagellates, microorganisms that emit light as a mechanism of defense. The high concentration of dinoflagellates in La Parguera Biolumisniscent Bay allows the glow to be visible to the human eye during new moon nights.  La Parguera also has dozens of cays with clear waters and diverse marine wildlife worth exploring. Cayo Mata la Gata is the most popular, and it has a beach safe for swimming called Lajas Beach, complete with gazebos and picnic tables. Cayo Caracoles and Cayo Enrique are other two cays open to visitors. Off the coast in La Parguera, a 20-mile underwater elevation known as “La Pared” is home to hundreds of coral reefs, fish, and stingrays and provides plenty to see on a scuba diving excursion." - ATLAS_OBSCURA

"Boating Through Paradise: A Trip to La Parguera The most serene day trip is to this small town on the southwest coast of Puerto Rico, just an hour south of the popular surf destination of Rincon. Hourly boat rentals are available for you to skip around to all the local ocean mangroves that surround the area. Johnny's Boats is your best bet, located in the center of Parguera marina. Ask for Naji to help set you up with your own outboard motor boat; he'll greet you with a smile! Each boat fits around five people comfortably. Add a cooler and sandwiches and you're looking at a beautiful excursion. The Caribbean Ocean never looked so blue. By Marcy Fitzpatrick"

Salsa Beats and Caribbean Breezes: A Night to Remember at La Parguera Rooftop La Parguera Rooftop is a hidden gem that effortlessly weaves together breathtaking views, vibrant music, and delightful bites, creating an unforgettable experience in the heart of Lajas. Perched atop, the panoramic view is nothing short of spectacular - the Caribbean Ocean extending majestically on one side, while the charming town of Lajas unfolds on the other. The allure of La Parguera Rooftop is immediately heightened by the rhythmic beats of salsa music drifting from the dance floor below. We were treated to an impromptu showcase of spirited salsa dancing, infusing the evening with an energy that was infectious. The dance floor became a stage for locals and visitors alike, turning the night into a celebration of music and movement. Our choice of seating allowed us to bask in the dual beauty of the ocean and the town, creating a picturesque backdrop for the evening. The Caribbean breeze, coupled with the lively atmosphere, set the stage for a perfect night out. The pina coladas, while not groundbreaking, provided a refreshing coolness that complemented the tropical ambiance. The real stars of the evening, however, were the bar bites. The meat and chicken empanadas were a savory delight, perfectly crispy on the outside and generously filled with flavorful goodness. The service at La Parguera Rooftop was attentive, and the staff added to the overall warmth of the atmosphere. Whether we were sipping our drinks or indulging in the delectable bites, the staff ensured that we felt welcomed and cared for. While the rooftop setting and lively ambiance are the main draws, it's worth noting that La Parguera Rooftop offers an immersive experience that goes beyond the ordinary. The combination of stunning views, lively music, and delicious bites makes it a must-visit for anyone looking to soak in the vibrant spirit of Lajas. If you're in search of a night filled with salsa rhythms, ocean breezes, and delectable bites, La Parguera Rooftop promises an enchanting escape that captures the essence of Caribbean joy.

En lo alto, la vista panorámica es nada menos que espectacular: el Océano Caribe se extiende majestuosamente a un lado, mientras que el encantador pueblo de Lajas se despliega al otro. El encanto de La Parguera Rooftop se ve inmediatamente realzado por los ritmos rítmicos de la música salsa que surgen de la pista de baile de abajo. Nos invitaron a una exhibición improvisada de enérgico baile de salsa, que infundió a la noche una energía contagiosa. La pista de baile se convirtió en un escenario para locales y visitantes, convirtiendo la noche en una celebración de la música y el movimiento. Nuestra elección de asientos nos permitió disfrutar de la doble belleza del océano y la ciudad, creando un pintoresco telón de fondo para la noche. La brisa caribeña, junto con el ambiente animado, preparan el escenario para una noche perfecta. Las piñas coladas, si bien no fueron innovadoras, brindaron una frescura refrescante que complementó el ambiente tropical. Pero los verdaderos protagonistas de la velada fueron los bocados en el bar. Las empanadas de carne y pollo eran una delicia sabrosa, perfectamente crujientes por fuera y generosamente llenas de sabrosas bondades. El servicio en La Parguera Rooftop fue atento y el personal contribuyó a la calidez general del ambiente. Ya sea que estuviéramos bebiendo nuestras bebidas o disfrutando de los deliciosos bocados, el personal se aseguró de que nos sintiéramos bienvenidos y atendidos. Si bien la ubicación de la azotea y el ambiente animado son los principales atractivos, vale la pena señalar que La Parguera Rooftop ofrece una experiencia inmersiva que va más allá de lo común. La combinación de impresionantes vistas, música animada y deliciosos bocados lo convierte en una visita obligada para cualquiera que busque sumergirse en el vibrante espíritu de Lajas. Si busca una noche llena de ritmos de salsa, brisa del mar y bocados deliciosos, La Parguera Rooftop promete un escape encantador que captura la esencia de la alegría caribeña.

I'm in Puerto Rico on a girl's trip. One of their cousins brought us here. we went to rooftop to eat and have drinks. We ordered Churrasco steak oriental rice,wings, and maragita pizza. All was very good. Her cousin had beer, lol. The view was awesome, overlooked the other venues. There was a live band when we 1st arrived and by 11pm the DJ took over and music was really good. I didn't record that because I was busy dancing lol There was more of a crowd by then too.

Wonderful evening diner and drinks. My wife enjoyed a few samplings of rum, while I had a Cuba Libre and an old fashioned, both were great. The young lady serving the entire bar and restaurant was hoping to keep everyone happy but did an excellent job! We had the fish tacos and spicy crab tacos which were really good. Overall a great dining experience, on the higher end of prices we have seen on our trip.

The ambiance was nice, however, beware this is a very small area. The food was expensive and mediocre, not typical of what you would expect from restaurants in Puerto Rico which provide rich foods that are reasonably priced. Don't waste money on overpriced mojitos, they were terrible. Stick to the bottled beer they can't mess that up. the dancing out front or downstairs is not related to the restaurant. The service was nothing to write home to Mom about. We sat ourselves and then waited for someone to finally come and take our order, it happened to be the guy who was also manning the bar. We waited quite a while for what we thought were simple appetizer dishes.

Stopped by for a quick bite before our bioluminescent tour. Delicious drinks with a great view overlooking the ocean. It looks like a great place to be at during the weekend. It did not disappoint.

Amazing food, even better service. The same woman who served us also made our cocktails and she makes a really good old fashion.

Nice atmosphere. We ate some delicious coconut shrimp and cod fritters after our glass bottom boat ride. Service was friendly.
