On the Water
Fajardo / Las Croabas
Fajardo · East
Water quality
Beach water qualityLas Croabas, on Fajardo's northeast shore, is an on-water spot used for kiteboarding and is also the starting point for kayak tours to the Laguna Grande bioluminescent lagoon. Kiting is best from November to April, when the trade winds are steadiest, typically blowing from the east-northeast at 18–28 knots (21–32 mph). The tide moves less than a foot, so water conditions change little through the day.
Ferries to Vieques and Culebra do not leave from here but from Ceiba, to the south.
