Practical

Beach ashore, no yacht facilities. Shops in Aguadilla town, 1.9 NM south.

History

The piers were built for the rescue boats of Ramey Air Force Base, which raced out to pick up downed airmen. Sand carried by the current later built up around them and ended their use for docking. The remains now act as an artificial reef used by snorkellers and anglers.
