Salinas de Cabo Rojo — Attraction in Cabo Rojo

Don't expect much, but there is a little, free museum across from the tower. Nice people, loved the handwritten letter by one of the previous workers there!! Please contribute any way you can.

It is worth it to see the gorgeous and unique water, but don't expect to do anything more than walk around for a few minutes admiring the water. There is no parking lot or bathrooms or any other kind of infrastructure either, you just have to park on the road and find the little path to walk in.
