Golden reflections across the water during late afternoon or evening descents.
Punta Borinquen
The historic lighthouse and dramatic cliffs right on the edge of the Rafael Hernandez Airport.
The right side is the 'landmark side.' For the best chance at the NYC skyline, hope for a departure on runways 13L or 22R. On landing in Aguadilla, you will often fly directly over the cliffs and the ocean, providing a thrilling low-altitude view of the coastline.
