La Poza del Obispo
Rock formations shelter a shallow pocket of water beside the Arecibo lighthouse. The rock barrier forms a distinct bathing pocket below the same headland as the historic lighthouse.

The close pairing of beach and lighthouse makes this an easy two stop coastal outing. Its proximity to the lighthouse makes it easy to compare the engineered landmark above with the natural rock formation below. Even without entering the water, the small cove and Atlantic backdrop offer a different perspective on Arecibo’s shore.
What to look for
Rock-protected beach below Arecibo lighthouse.
Useful to know
Even inside the rocks, swimming depends on weather and surf; assess conditions on arrival.
