Located in southeastern Puerto Rico on the Caribbean coast, Arroyo is a small coastal town with a Caribbean flavor. One of Puerto Rico's 74 municipalities, Arroyo is known for its quiet beaches, colonial architecture and rich cultural activities. The city's name is derived from the Spanish word for "stream," alluding to its early water-rich geography. It is home to the famous Playa de Pico beach, popular for surfing and sunbathing, and an excellent spot to watch Caribbean sunsets. Arroyo's economy is based on agriculture (sugar cane, tropical fruits) and tourism, and its warm and welcoming inhabitants have preserved traditional Puerto Rican culture, attracting many visitors to the annual Fiestas Patronales religious festival. As Puerto Rico's "Gateway to the East," Arroyo is a small but charming place to experience the slow life of the Caribbean.
