El Combate
Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico
El Combate is a coastal community and beach area in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, known for its tranquil white sand beaches and clear waters, part of the Boquerón National State Forest.
The name "El Combate" ("The Combat") comes from a historic local legend about a fierce battle between residents of Cabo Rojo, known as "mata con hacha" (those who kill with axes), and people from the neighboring town of Lajas, who defended themselves by throwing stones. Cabo Rojo itself was founded in 1771 and is famous for its reddish salt flats and seaside cliffs.
El Combate is popular among locals and visitors for swimming, snorkeling, and enjoying some of the best sunsets in Puerto Rico. The nearby salt flats are important for both the local ecosystem and migratory bird species.
