Pastelillos Lamboy
Don’t miss this spot for the famous Puerto Rican Fritters! We stopped here for a snack on our way from Aguadilla to Manatí and it was quick, convenient, and super tasty. The fritters are made to order so you do have to wait a few moments for them to be dropped in the fryer, but it’s well worth the short wait. There are several fritters to choose from but I highly recommend the meat and cheese!

Frutos Del Guacabo
This sustainable farm is a family owned business that supports local restaurants and educates the community on how they can grow their own produce on the Island. You can really tell how much love and care goes into caring for the farm and it makes a memorable stop on your trip along the North Shore. Farm tours are only available with advanced reservation so call or email ahead of time to arrange a tour that includes lunch. While you’re there, you can tour the greenhouses, visit with the goats, and sample local food made entirely from ingredients grown on the farm.

Day 2

Kfeína Coffee Shop Manatí
The cutest breakfast spot in Manatí! You can sit outside on the covered patio and soak in the gorgeous surroundings. Service is pretty quick and the food is delicious. We loved our cappuccinos so much that we took another one to go.

Cueva de las Golondrinas
You can reach this cool sea cave by following a foot path from the parking area. I recommend following the trail on an app like AllTrails because it’s easy to miss. Go at low tide if you want to swim inside the cave

Mar Chiquita Beach
One of the most unique beaches I’ve seen. Limestone outcroppings create a small opening that creates a bright blue lagoon. Go at sunrise to have the whole beach to yourself
