A Sailor’s Guide to Fajardo (March 2010)
While docked for several weeks at SunBay Marina in Fajardo, Puerto Rico for repairs – http://www.sunbaymarina.com/ (787-863-0313) – I quickly realized that there were limited resources available for visiting boaters regarding local amenities. I found my local guidebook (“A Crusing Guide to Puerto Rico by Stephen Pavlidis”, 2003) lacking in up-to-date information and also found myself either spending hours online doing research to find what I needed or having to ask multiple locals. And, having purchased cruising guides for almost all of the Caribbean, I have honestly found that these guides provide limited detailed information on the local amenities as well as lack candid views on these same amenities (as they derive advertising revenues from the local businesses). Thus my inspiration to write an easy, all-in-one place summary guide to Fajardo for visiting boaters – based on my first hand experiences. Please note that this is by no means an exhaustive list of all of the local amenities in Fajardo but it will provide an overview of what you need while you are sailing through ! (As a disclaimer, these notes are up to date as of March 20th, 2010).
A) Provisioning
Walmart – Puerto Rico has a number of Walmart branches but the closest in Fajardo is located at 150 Carr 940, Suite 180 (787-860-1020). This is on Route (Carretera) 3, in Plaza Fajardo. Please note that the fresh food selection here is very limited/not great quality so I would recommend vernturing to the grocery store located in the same mall. There is a Walmart SuperCenter to the northwest of Fajardo, at WM SC Plaza Canovans, just off Route 3 (towards San Juan) – this Walmart carries a much larger fresh food selection, including fish/seafood.
Grocery Store – Econo Supermarket is also located in Plaza Fajardo and has a great selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, a liquor section, a bakery as well as a decent meat section. Unfortunately, fresh fish is not available here although they have salted as well as frozen fish. This is a great place to re-stock your spices (although I couldn’t find any indian spices for my curries). Bags of ice are available at the front of the store. If you wish to use your credit card here for payment you will need to have ID with you.
