Isla de Cabras

Palo Seco, Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico

Isla de Cabras is a small historic islet connected by landfill to Palo Seco in Toa Baja, Puerto Rico, positioned at the entrance to San Juan Bay opposite Old San Juan's El Morro fortress.

Once named for wild goats and serving as a 17th-century defensive outpost with Fortín San Juan de la Cruz (El Cañuelo), it later housed a 19th-century leprosy colony and WWII military sites before becoming Parque Nacional Isla de Cabras in 1957.

This recreational park offers panoramic bay views, walking paths, fishing spots, gazebos for picnics, and beach access, blending colonial ruins with serene coastal vibes near Cataño's Bacardi distillery. Free entry draws families for relaxed outings, though it shares space with a police firing range and fishing club.
