Along the northwestern coast of Puerto Rico, Aguadilla offers more than just sun-drenched beaches—it’s a gateway to memorable outdoor adventures with Horse Goat Farm. This distinctive outfit combines two exhilarating ways to take in the landscape: horseback rides along the beach and rugged UTV rentals. Horse Goat Farm’s beach horseback rides carve a path where warm, foamy waves kiss the shoreline, and the sea breeze carries the salty tang of the Atlantic.

This business anchors the local tourism scene by providing hands-on, authentic experiences in nature, enhancing Aguadilla’s reputation not only as a beach destination but also as an outdoor activity hub. Here, adventure meets the shoreline, creating memories framed by turquoise waters and the dramatic hues of Caribbean skies.
