Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico: Pink Salt Lakes, El Faro, and Playa Sucia

Explore Cabo Rojo with us!
We’re taking you to the National Wildlife Refuge of Cabo Rojo.
Our first stop is at Puerto Rico’s pink lakes - Las Salinas (Salt flats) de Puerto Rico. From there, we’ll explore El Faro Los Morrillos (The Los Morrillos Lighthouse), a historic landmark in the area of Rojo Cabo.
Not too far from there, we’ll visit the Puente de Piedra and we’ll relax at Playa Sucia or La Playuela, one of the most beautiful beaches on the west side (or oeste) of Puerto Rico.
This corner of the island quickly became one of our favorite day-trips while we lived in Boqueron. If you're in Puerto Rico, do yourself a favor and check it out!

Oh Dios!! Mil gracias por este video... por mostrarle al mundo parte de mi querido pueblo de Cabo Rojo (llamado así por el color rojizo que se refleja en sus costas por el exceso de minerales el agua). Se le conocía como los Cabos Rojos o Tierras Bajas de los Morillos. Cabo Rojo le debe su nombre a los acompañantes de Colón en su segundo viaje a America. Es todo un placer que ustedes sean parte de nosotros y con el respeto que hacen sus videos. Les estoy eternamente agradecida 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

Yes. Ppl wrongly called Playa Sucia, but the name is Playuela. Playa Sucia is the Bay next to Playuela.

[@xNemesiSxPR]

mmm i took Geology a while back, never completed studied (yea yea) but still got a few classes. One professor told us its called playa Sucia because the currents from the north and south merge there and all the sediments accumulate in that corner of PR.

[@ZimVader-0017]

I went there four years ago while taking an Ecology course. We walked for three hours and didn't even notice. We were lucky enough to see a couple flamingos, it was very cool. My sister and I have planned to see all of the lighthouses. We already went to the lighthouse ruins in Guanica, now we're going to hopefully travel along the west coast to see all of them. Thank you for keeping our places clean. We've been trying to get people to be more conscious (we have university student associations, mostly science, that have made educational signs about keeping Puerto Rico clean), but some people are stubborn. We share your frustration with non tidy and irresponsible people. I have no idea why it's called Playa Sucia, but the sargazo has been a growing problem all over the coasts. The scientific community is still trying to figure out what's going on. We call hermit crabs "cobitos". Speaking of Salinas, have you heard of the reserve Bahia de Jobos that is in the municipality called Salinas? If you're lucky, you can see manatíes feeding on the coast :)

[@SpanishandGo]

Isn't it an incredible area?! That's so cool that you got to see flamingos there! We saw them once too, but they weren't there when we filmed this. We haven't heard of Bahia de Jobos, but it'd be incredible to see manatees feeding there! Thanks for your support. We have much more to come soon. Un saludo. -Jim

You should also visit "El Yunque" in Luquillo, Puerto Rico. It's a natural rainforest but careful, it's too dangerous if you go during rain periods because the rivers can overflown and many tourist have died in the past because they underestimates the El Yunke's rivers...

[@GregoryHudsonAuthor]

The beach is actually Playuella, Playa Sucia is the shoreline at the pink lakes. The ocean current there brings all of the sea trash there and dumps it. Plastic bottles, bags, tires, lots of trash end up on the shoreline at Playa Sucia beside the pink lakes. I have a home there. In one of the 3 story yellow condo buildings across the street from the pink lakes. Great video. Thank you for posting

Beautiful. Oh broke my heart seeing the kitty how would it be fed there ? Seems like a secluded area for this baby to be and find food. The one thing I dislike so much about P.R., so many abandoned fur babies.😢💔🐈Praying someone picks this baby up and give a it a loving home.❤🐈

I know! It’s so sad. She looked like maybe she just had kittens too. Fortunately, there are many crabs in the area, so hopefully she is able to hunt a bit there. I wish we could save them all! -Jim

Please take her home or bring her some food! She is hungry, and thirsty, she was asking you for help! 😢

[@franciscolaboy3886]

The rangers at the site feed many cats that will very likely found very near the trash cans at the end of the dirt road, just next to the entrance to Playa Sucia. Oh and by the way, agree with the excessive seaweed accumulation on that beach, however, the complete reason is because it is the most southwest point in the island, where many currents converge. This leads to many flowing things, not just seaweed to find its way into the small bay. In fact, the long stretch of beach on the east of Playa Sucia is called Bahia Sucia (Dirty Bay), for the same reason. Other names include Playuela, which is what most locals are calling it nowadays. Also, I’ve missed you several times on the local hiking Group (FB closed channel hikes) several times. Hopefully we will meet soon. Thank you for treating Puerto Rico with such respect. Nos vemos pronto!!

[@corsario5944]

Jim, May. Awesome work. Outstanding. As a Caborrojeño (native of Cabo Rojo) I welcome you both to our beloved town. Enjoy your stay in La Guarida del Pirata Cofresí(Pirate Cofresí's Cove), however short or long it may be... A couple of things: The official & real name of the beach is Playuela. The thing is(to the best of my knowledge) that since the Bay is called Bahia Sucia everyone has erroneously called it Playa Sucia... Cabo Rojo gets his name from, again, to the best of my knowledge, those Redstone Cliffs by the Faro(Lighthouse) Los Morrillos. "Red sun" & "red sky"🌞Sunsets, Las Salinas/Pink Flats(you can argue red-ish) also helps the argument for the town to get its name, Cabo Rojo (Red Cape or Cape Red). And, thank you endlessly for thinking of helping 🇵🇷's economy in your decision to move & in helping clean up Cabo Rojo. I admire you both for that. I wish there were more Caborrojeños & Puerto Ricans that were as respectful of our Island's natural resources & were as humble as you too, to be conscious not to trash our beautiful land. P.S. Just came back from my annual 2-week vacation at my parents' home in Cabo Rojo. Maybe next time I visit, I can get to meet you both. I would be a pleasure. Till next time. Stay safe!

[@LaVidaMoraPuertoRico]

So glad you enjoyed Cabo Rojo. The Drone shots definitely made those flats look extra pink and beautiful. Excellent! I think our beaches are pretty clean for the most part. The wind blows a lot away. And the strays get into many things. I see locals (us as well) always travel witulh bags picking up garbage. Even before it became a challenge. Also we are accustomed to bringing food and water for the strays :( it has become a habit sadly.

[@SpanishandGo]

Thanks, Vida! We loved our time in Cabo Rojo and miss it already. We’ll be back though. Yes, it is quite windy up there, so I can see how trash could get blown around. We always have extra dog food in our trunk too to help strays as we see them. Good for you for making PR a better place! Un saludo. -Jim

[@LaVidaMoraPuertoRico]

Of course...it is also hit bad during the holidays. But still grateful that people like you and others clean up. Again, I am really excited for those drone shots. People can really see how impressive the flats are. Gracias.

[@freguerfont4768]

Actually, small sharks do venture into Playa Sucia. It's not advised to go far into deep water. You'll know there are sharks or other predators, like the Barracuda (Picúa en Puerto Rico), when you see small fish jumping. You won't see many people venturing into deep waters because of it. Last time I saw fish jumping, the beach was full of people and everyone was excited to witness such a nice spectacle. A while later, someone from the Recursos Naturales showed up on a jet ski. I was later told that he came around to make sure there was no one in deep water and to make sure the shark wasn't close to the beach. The iguana has, sadly, become a pest in Puerto Rico. It's replacing the local iguana and even eating the Coquí away.

[@msrjorge1805]

Ohh that’s my favorite place in Cabo Rojo! Beautiful! Answering your questions, Indeed, the beach it’s called “playa sucia” , because of the “Salgazo”. A few years ago the name of the beach was changed to “Playuela” . The salgazo is temporarily, the beach is absolutely amazing when there is no salgazo. Another thing, you can visit the faro, go inside, they have pictures and the history of the place and you can climb to the top of it which is really beautiful, the view and the wind is so amazing and ITS FREE, you don’t have to pay for it. Finally thanks for the cleaning and picking up the trash. I did the same every time I visit the beaches. As responsible PuertoRican I fell ashamed, that some people don’t take care about our precious resources 😢. Hope we can make a difference! Thanks for pointing it out!

[@JenniferJusino85]

Realmente se llama "Playuela" pero es erróneamente llamada "Playa Sucia" debido a una bahía que se llama "Bahía Sucia" que y se encuentra muy cerca de ahí. De hecho, puede verse en tomas áreas a mano izquierda. La próxima vez les invito a que suban al faro, si creen que la vista es bonita ahí, cuando subes las escaleras es mucho más espectacular y una buena foto con las ventanas del faro abierta es como de postal.

I’ve been to PR like 20x already. My only concern is, I’m Filipino and only know some words in Spanish. I don’t know if I’ll be able to find a job while learning Spanish:(

Porque Cabo Rojo se llama Cabo Rojo? Cabo Rojo fue fundado en el año 1771 por Nicolás Ramírez de Arellano, su primer alcalde. Su nombre proviene del color rojizo que se refleja en sus costas por el exceso de minerales el agua. Se le conocía como los Cabos Rojos o Tierras Bajas de los Morillos. En este pueblo vivieron los "Arrariacos", la cultura más antigua registrada en la Isla. Cabo Rojo le debe su nombre a los acompañantes de Colón en su segundo viaje a America.
