A light plane thins the horizon as it descends toward Cabo Rojo, and the first breath on the tarmac is warm and salty—an immediate promise of open water and powder-white sand. From the airport the vehicle winds past the Cabo Rojo wetlands, where fishermen mend nets and mangroves edge shallow channels, until the bay opens: Bahía de las Águilas, a wide crescent of translucent turquoise and unshadowed beach.
