Description

Pozo de Jacinto is at Barrio Bajura which is near Crash Boat Beach in Aguadilla, which borders Isabela. It's a blowhole, or limestone rock with an orifice through which ocean waves shoot up.

Folklore

A jíbaro named Jacinto often went near the cave to eat his lunch, keeping the cow's leash tied around his waist. One day, loud thunder scared the cow and he ran, fell down the pit pulling Jacinto with him and both drowned. If Jacinto's name is called and mention of the cow is made, the ocean becomes furious and churns wildly in response.
