Things to do nearSunbay Marina

    Sunbay Marina in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, serves as a gateway to island-hopping adventures, bioluminescent bays, and some of the Caribbean's clearest waters.

    Fajardo has long been Puerto Rico's maritime hub, and Sunbay Marina reflects that deep seafaring tradition. The town's position at the northeastern corner of the island made it a natural staging point for inter-island travel long before modern tourism arrived, and the marina continues that legacy today by connecting visitors to the Spanish Virgin Islands and the surrounding cay network.

    From the docks of Sunbay Marina, a range of boat tours fan out across the turquoise shallows toward destinations like Icacos Beach, where powdery sand and calm snorkeling waters reward the short crossing. Anglers will find fishing charters targeting mahi-mahi, wahoo, and blue marlin in the deep blue just beyond the reef line.

    The marina's position also makes it the most convenient launch point for an evening kayaking trip to the nearby bioluminescent bay, where dinoflagellates light up the water with an eerie blue-green glow. Daytime brings its own rewards, with snorkeling trips revealing elkhorn coral and tropical fish in the sheltered waters between the cays.

    The atmosphere around Sunbay Marina is relaxed and unhurried, with the rhythm of tides and departures setting the pace. For anyone wanting to experience the full breadth of Puerto Rico's Caribbean coast, this marina is an ideal and well-positioned starting point.

    Tips for visiting Sunbay Marina

    1

    Arrive early in the morning to secure a spot on outbound charters before they fill up, especially on weekends and holidays.

    2

    Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a dry bag since most excursions departing from here involve open-water crossings with some spray.

    3

    Visit the nearby bioluminescent Laguna Grande on a moonless night for the most vivid glow in the water.

    4

    Pack light snacks and water for island day trips, as provisions on the outer cays are limited or unavailable.

    5

    Ask local captains about current sea conditions before heading to the outer islands, as swells can pick up quickly in the afternoon.
