To get to Combate
from the south, you head west on road 116 and you will reach the
peninsula of Cabo Rojo, which means “red headlands”, named for the
pinkish-red color of its cliffs (for details click on the map
link).
You will enjoy
visiting places of interest close to Combate Beach Hotel and Restaurant.
When road 301 becomes pitted sand, you’ll find Las Salinas, the salt
flats of Cabo Rojo – mined since the early 1500’s - where the water
has a pinkish tinge. A wooden lookout provides an overview of the flats,
and a visitor’s center provides information on the area.
At the end of the
road you’ll find paradise La Playuela, a beautiful crescent of white
sand beach. Atop the hill is the dramatic setting of Cabo Rojo Lighthouse
(El Faro).
Very close to our
Hotel you can also strike out on bird-watching trails at the Cabo Rojo Wildlife Refuge or catch road 101 west to the beach town of
Boquerón, a long popular vacation spot.
North of town is
Punta Guaniquilla, an ecologically rich region of lagoons, water birds
and peculiar rock formations. Protected by the Island’s Conservation
Trust, it is currently closed to the public.
