MAKE AN IMPACT
Help us protect Punta Borinquen from development.
We are constantly under threat by special interests wanting to take these lands and potentially close public access.
Support our non-profit:
Rescate Playas Borinquen's mission is to restore former Ramey Air Force Base's 642 acre recreational area and protect nature. This includes popular destinations and surfing spots, known as Surfer's Beach, Borinquen Beach, Las Ruinas, and Wilderness Areas, all located in Aguadilla, in the northwest corner of Puerto Rico.
We require annual donations to cover our costs for road repairs, mowing, trash pickup, and maintenance to keep these beaches open and accessible to the public.
If we cannot pay for maintenance we could lose our mandate and access to this land forever.
RC 709 mandates that our non-profit has the legal and administrative authority over the 642 acre area as long as we maintain the area and keep it accessible to the public.
Your donation will make the biggest impact to help us continue to provide beach access to everyone.
We MUST keep Punta Borinquen open for everyone to enjoy. Please support us with a year-end donation.
We provide donor receipts for tax purposes and are eligible for ACT 60/22 charitable donations.
Donations are used for:
-
Road and Infrastructure Repairs: Keeping the beaches accessible to ALL
-
Conservation: Planting trees and restoring shorelines
-
Maintenance: Historical landmarks, benches, fence posts, and more
-
Land Maintenance: Monthly services for mowing lawns and trimming

NO TAX DOLLARS GO TOWARD THESE SERVICES.
All maintenance is 100% paid for by donations and volunteer hours from our non-profit organization. We are funded by our community and donors like you! No big corporations or public money. See some of work and projects below!
