Hi Jan

That’s not a silly ?

It’s my understanding that they stopped allowing swimming in the Fajardo Bio Bay to ensure that the bay did not loose it’s glow. Over use and pollution can harm the bay – this is my understanding, not an official reason.

BUT, over on Vieques you can still swim – this is probably because that bio bay is in better condition and will also have fewer visitors than the Fajardo Bio Bay

I stumbled upon your blog from the recommended blogs in my Google reader and I’m glad I did. My husband and I are going to PR over Memorial Day. We have been to PR before, on our honeymoon, and my husband has a lot of family in Maunabo.
This is a great site to help us plan our weekend in PR. I was reading up on other places about the bio-bays and it looks like this will definitely be a stop on our trip.
