The bioluminescent bay is in La Parguera located in the town of Lajas about 30 minutes from Ponce. If you go during the day there is great snorkeling you can do around the cays and at night tour the bay to see the bioluminiscence. Afterwards grab a sangria beverage "Cono" it's good when accompanied with some fried food. Coffin Island is called Caja de Muerto, great beach, some snorkeling too. You catch the ferry at La Guancha pier in Ponce. You might have to reserve in advance, I would ask before you plan going. There is nothing to eat or drink on Caja de Muerto so take everything with you, even drinking water. Do plan ahead to go to Culebra. Talk to the locals maybe you can catch a free ride to Fajardo. What you thought was ketchup then strawberries was probably guava sauce. Glad to know you enjoyed your sandwich a la plancha. Puertorrican food is among the best in the Caribbean and probably within the Americas, if I do say so myself.
We do love everyone that visits, you have to understand Americans are sometimes viewed as invaders, with the military being on the island and now off (remember Vieques), political turmoil, etc., many are trying to preserve what's left. I'm sure once the people of Ponce know you are just there to help, they will appreciate you. I have read many articles about the site you are at. Believe me, the press are sometimes the saving grace of the puertorriquenos. It is their informant, otherwise everything would have been covered up and no one would have known about these artifacts. Unfortunately, there are crimes, mostly drug related and of passion, so don't look at anyone's girlfriend funny or you might end up as 128. Enjoy as much as you can. By the way, PR big SUPER TUESDAY is this Sunday, March 9 as there are primary elections throughout the entire island. Enjoy! Happy travels! J
