A hidden gem on the west coast.
Being overshadowed by the surfer-hangout Rincón to the north and college town Mayagüez to the south is a blessing in disguise for the town of Añasco. Its pristine beaches are just as breathtaking as its neighbors but with fewer people around. There are also interesting places to explore that might even be new to locals.
If you're just passing through Añasco, there are a few quick-stop sites to visit like the Mirador, a three-story watchtower off PR-115 overlooking the Mona Passage, and the Salcedo iron bridge which crosses the Río Grande de Añasco.
