  2. The beaches in the northwest corner of the “Isla Del Encanto” are undoubtedly the island’s best-kept secret. The blow hole at Jobos Beach entertains the calmer-water-lovers nearer the shore, while the surfers and boogie boarders are taking on the waves that have made Aguadilla a destination spot for surfing aficionados. Crash Boat and Wilderness Beach are also musts to experience. Visitors love their view of Survival Beach while taking a Tropical Trail Ride and hike through the almond groves and cliffs along the northern shore.
