- Surfing: Only about a 40-minute drive from La Parguera you will find the best surf in the Caribbean. Places like Rincon have numerous world-renowned breaks that will please surfers of any caliber. So if you want to spend a couple extra days to get in some surfing we suggest it!
- Scuba Diving: In addition to different coral reef located close to the coast, 5 miles offshore there is an abyss that begins at only 60 feet of depth and drops to more than 1000 feet. Visibility often surpasses 100 ft plus. The walls are covered with all sorts of marine life including black coral at a depth in excess of 200 feet. This abyss or wall diving rivals the best spots around the world. You can board a diving boat directly on Posada Porlamar's pier.

- The Phosphorescent Bay: For a small fee tourist may board any of the boats and glass bottom boats that visit the world famous Phosphorescent Bay of La Parguera. There, millions of microscopic organisms called dinoflagelates cling to the body of fishes and float on the water producing a spectacular light show that sometimes looks like and underwater Aurora Borealis. Even the wake of boats shine with a soft eerie green as they cruise along the bay. The effect is dramatically enhanced on moonless nights.
- Open Water Fishing: At the town's dock, you may board private operators that will take you fishing for Dolphin (Dorado), Jacks, Barracuda and small Tuna.
- Water Canals: Traveling west to Isla Cuevas on a rented or private small boat will bring you to a series of narrow mangrove canals that virtually form a maze of tunnels through the mangrove islands. Inside the mangrove you can enjoy watching tropical birds and sometimes-small monkeys jumping from branch to branch. Isla Cuevas may be full of monkeys; we advice caution if you plan to come ashore.
- Sandy Beaches: The best beaches of Puerto Rico are just a few minutes away by car. Just ask for directions to places like Playa Rosada, Playa Santa, Caña Gorda, and Playa Escondida (next to Cabo Rojo's lighthouse).
- Kayaking: Kayaks are available for rent at a moderate price in the town.
- Photography: With a year round summer climate, La Parguera, is an ideal place for underwater and nature photography. Just go to one of the nearby hills and take that amazing panoramic picture you always wanted.
