Boquerón Bay

Your First Perfect Overnight Stop. Tucked just three nautical miles south of Puerto Real, Boquerón Bay feels like the Caribbean postcard you came for. Drop anchor in its wide, protected waters over soft mud and sand that holds like glue even when the trades pick up. The long white-sand beach stretches out for sunset walks, and the little town is an easy dinghy ride for fresh seafood and cold Medallas. Swim, snorkel the shallow edges, or just float in turquoise water while you laugh and take photos. Overnight here is calm and magical — perfect first night out for new sailors.
