How many islands does Puerto Rico have?

After moving to Puerto Rico and renovating our home we wanted to take in our surroundings. See what the Isla del Encanto had in store for us. We've traveled to several islands like Culebra they have Flamenco Beach one of the top rated beaches in the world. Vieques Island had lots of breathtaking beaches and wildlife reserves for horses they just roam around the island it's just spectacular and Gilligan's Island was a very small island but it was perfect to bring the kids and enjoy a picnic, soak in the sun and swim all day.

Please note: Gilligan's Island doesn't have any restaurants or car rentals so you can either buy food from the restaurant where you board the ferry to go to the island or just pack your meal. One day while looking for another adventure I started thinking how many islands does Puerto Rico actually have? Well after doing some research and to my surprise Puerto Rico has over 143 islands, cays, islets, and atolls. That is astonishing!!! The main Island of Puerto Rico, Culebra and Vieques are the only ones inhabited.

Our next day trip will be to the Island of Palomino you can take a ferry from Fajardo to the island. When you visit Puerto Rico make sure you take a day trip to one of these beautiful islands and enjoy the white sandy beaches, clear blue water, caves, hills and all that is Puerto Rico.

Day trip to Gilligan Island





We are always looking for new adventures and places to see and go! This last trip took us clear across to the other side of the island to Guanica. The rolling mountains and scenic vistas always make for an enjoyable trip. We are always looking for places to stop and check out.



Gilligan Island ferry is a quaint little Marina with a private ferry to the island. Its a picture perfect location meeting all the elements of an Island paradise. The marina is uniquely and interestingly decorated. They serve all kind of traditional Puerto Rican fares. The ferry departs every 30 minutes and is very easy and accessible to get to the island of Gilligan.



Once we arrived on the island we made our way to find a place to relax. The island is very small and there is no cars or stores. It's basically another exotic beach location. We went on a Saturday and it was very busy and difficult to find a spot. Nonetheless, we found a nice shady spot to set up camp.

The Island waters were warm, inviting and crystal clear. It was a great place to snorkel and was teaming with marine life. I would say this is a great place to fish too! After a picknick lunch and a few hours of lounging and snorkeling, we made our way back to the ferry launch.



Overall this was a great day trip! Be prepared to bring your own cooler and food and to stay all day! Bring a mask and snorkel too! If you stay with us here at Isla oasis we provide those free of charge! Just ask us and we hope to see you here in Puerto Rico soon!
