Isabela is Puerto Rico’s second-biggest surfing destination and ranks next to Rincon, a world-class surf spot. It’s called “the garden on the northwest” (El Jardin del Noroeste) with its paradise-like surroundings dominating the northwest region bordered on the West by the sheltered coves of Jobos Beach and to the East, Guajataca’s abandoned tunnels and jagged coastline. Originally a European settlement built in 1725, it was later abandoned and renamed Isabela after the Spanish Queen when it was reestablished in 1819. Its 14 barrios, challenging surfs, rustic island scenery, and at least 4 fiestas a year gives its vibrant coastal town atmosphere. And Airbnb offers you plenty of amazing places to stay in Isabela, Puerto Rico. Check out these top Airbnb vacation rentals in Isabela, Puerto Rico.
