Crash Boat Beach, also known as Playa Crash Boat, is a visitor beach located within Puerto Rico's Aguadilla municipality on the site of a former military port used by Ramey Air Force Base.
The beach's name is said to be derived from its use by the United States military in World War II, with its dock used to accommodate the Crash Boats Rescue Squadron.
Today, the dock remains in use as a popular fishing spot, with two large sandy beachfront areas available for swimmers in designated areas. Excellent surfing, bodyboarding, and sunbathing conditions are offered year-round, with launching-off points for snorkelers and scuba divers available at the pier. Several snack stands sell traditional Puerto Rican cuisine and tropical beverages such as piña coladas, and a beach rental area offers jet ski and motorboat rentals.
