Central Plaza
The modern, once-austere plaza around which local life revolves has been refurbed with new paint, attractive signs, landscaping, and a better play structure. The east side is just steps away from a lovely sea walk that passes the fishing pier with its old landmark lighthouse, whose tilt, courtesy of Hurricane Beulah’s 1967 rampage, makes the Leaning Tower of Pisa look downright upright. Residents wouldn’t hear of tearing it down, even though a larger beacon took over its duties. While the beach here is often rocky and strewn with seaweed, a stroll north leads to finer beaches; the best is at Ojo de Agua, easily recognized by the hotel/restaurant of the same name.
