Beautiful place. The blue color of the ocean is spectacular.
However, be very careful. It is too easy to stumble with the rocks in this area; and there is nothing to keep visitors from falling down into the rocks and rough ocean. Stay away at least 10 feet.
A hidden treasure in Isabela.

El Pozo de Jacinto is a small cave on the rocks by the beach in Isabela, Puerto Rico. I grew up in Isabela and I remember the legend of Jacinto.
According to the local legend, there was once a farmer by the name of Jacinto. It is said that Jacinto had a favorite cow which he always had tied to him while walking the rest of his herd. One day the cow walked too close to the hole and fell, dragging Jacinto along, where they both died.
The legend says that whenever someone gets close and yells “Jacinto, dame la vaca!” (Jacinto, give me the cow), a big burst of water will shoot up from the hole, angry, as it to say “you are not taking my cow”. From that time on, El Pozo de Jobos (Jobos Well) became El Pozo de Jacinto (Jacinto’s Well).

I'm a local, from Isabela, and want to share the experience. Located at the North/NorthWest of PR, at Jobos beach, and close to a few great local restaurants (my fav KIA & Ocean Front rest.) El Pozo de Jacinto has a beautiful scenery, wonderful cool sea breeze, & an awesome ocean view. There is a huge hole where you can look down and experience a view of the ocean water splashing onto the rocky walls sprinkling water on you. If you lucky you will see a few local experience swimmers diving in to the huge ocean waves. If you looking for great scenery and the experience, the trip to El Pozo de Jacinto is worth the while. Oh yes, make sure you ask the locals the urban legend of Jacinto and his cow 😉. Overall: Wonderful experience.
Caution: 1. Do not dive if you are not an experience diver and don't know the area. 2. Don't get too close to el Pozo. 3. It's rocky so make sure to have on a proper footwear. 4. be cautious especially with children. Have FUN!

As stated in previous comments there is great history to this blow hole..it is very picture worthy but be cautious..do not jump into or get too close when surf is very high..This attraction is great to see but the rocks and hill could be too strentuous for seniors or those with disabilities..I wouldn't call this attraction relaxing and peaceful..it is beautiful lava rock formation of nature with lots of wave and tide current energy..ALSO..there is a bridge/walkway that is closed and being replaced..BUT..some tourists climb over it which is very dangerous and unstable and could collapse at any time.

The beach near here is know as playa Jobos. In this beach the had a kite boarding comletition we had a great time watching and swiming. I love going to the beach and this is one i plan to return. El Pozo de Jasinto is a little far but it was interesting to see what the local ppl said about it.

The well (pozo) is scary if the waves are rough and big. Better be careful not going too close.
It was called Pozo De jacinto ( Jacinto's Well ) because there was once a farmer name jacinto always tied his favorite cow to him while walking his herd, one day his favorite cow walked too close the well and fell, dragging him along and they both died.

“El pozo de Jacinto” , at the Isabela Beach Jobos area, is a beautiful natural coral reaf mountain with a big hole at the top y hrough which the sea water jumps to the sky, specially when you scream “Jacinto”.The view of the seashore is stunning and breathtaking.I consider this place one of the most beautiful areas to take pictures in Puerto Rico.

Playa Jobos is the most popular beach in Isabela because of the beautiful beach and available delicious food. there. Off to the right of the beach up a path is a rocky area and in the middle of it there is a giant hole that looks down to the water below..often as the waves come in the water splashes up. There are no railings and if you fell in you would be killed … children should not venture to see this ahed of their parents.
Nice to see but very dangerous.

There is something that needs to added to that story (Iived in Isabela many years ago). ... It was on a dark stormy night that Jacinto was bringing back the Cow and when lighting struck, the cow went wild and ran into the hole known as Jacinto's Well (Pozo de Jacinto). The Cow dragged Jacinto into the hole and both to them, to their death. ... The rest of the story is the same.... Very nice legend !!

This is a cool blow hole at Jobos Beach in Isabela. Google the story of Pozo de Jacinto, it's cool. When you stand on this rock be very careful and don't stand where it's wet. The waves come crashing in and spew up into the air with force. The sound is incredible. This is a surfers beach and the waves rival Hawaii so it's quite a site to see. Real surfer waves breaking against the shore with no one but you to see them. We went early on a Monday and had the beach to ourselves. It was too rough to swim but it's soothing to watch. Beautiful view of the ocean as far as you can see. It's easy to find just GPS Pozo de Jacinto.
