[3] In September 2017 the boardwalk was damaged by Hurricane Maria and the area closest to the water was fenced off and off-limits to the public, but the rest of the facilities continued to operate uninterrupted.

At one end of the boardwalk there is a lookout tower, giving an elevated view of La Guancha.

"[5] There is also a marina where visitors can rent pedal boats and kayaks to explore the bay, an open-space stage for social and other similar activities, and an observation tower from where the Cardona Island Lighthouse can be seen.

The Paseo Tablado La Guancha is a good place to mingle with local Ponceños.
