5.0 The Bay of El Ojo del Buey (4 reviews)
- El ojo del buey
Friday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Beaches

We were in the Dorado, Puerto Rico area and decided to visit the beaches around. The sea was extremely brave but the area was still extremely beautiful Some corals peaces were in the shore and we took some of them. The name of the area is because there is a huge stone that has been carved by the sea and you can visualize the head and the eye of a bull. There is a history that in that area the Puertorrican pirate, Roberto Cofresi hided his multiple treasures. And if someone tries to find it, the sea turns furiously brave. I was investigating with some of the residents around the area the whereabouts of some metal bars in the whole area. They explained that the PR Natural Resources and conservation agency were trying to restore the corals in the area. That is why the presence of the metals in the shoreline. This is an extraordinary beautiful area. Some places are not available for swimming . We have seen some surfers in the area too. Will recommend to family and friends. See more..
