Fajardo is a small but popular Puerto Rican city located in the eastern region of the island, bordering the picturesque shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean. Fajardo was founded in 1772. Fajardo is known as "La Metrópolis del Sol Naciente," meaning "the city that guards the sun of the Caribbean." Fajardo is a major Puerto Rican boating center, and therefore offers an extraordinary opportunity for boat rentals and charters, with numerous daily sport fishing and sport diving excursions as well as ferries to the many islands within reach. Fajardo's beautiful beaches are met by pristine calm waters that are crystal clear and ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving. Fajardo is full of majestic scenery and the oceanic Caribbean setting is magnificent.
