Isla de Ratones, One of the offshore Treasures of Puerto Rico

This tiny island is located just off the coast of Joyuda, Cabo Rojo. In a short few minutes boat ride you can enjoy snorkeling and swimming on clear shallow waters. Tour operators are available to take you to Isla de Ratones for a fun day under the sun. This little island is perfect for children and beginners snorkelers since most of the beach around the island is no deeper than six feet.
