Best Answer

The island of Desecheo (not Desechao) is an uninhabited wildlife refuge. The only way to the island is via private or hired boat from Rincón or other northwestern Puerto Rican port. However, visitors are prohibited by the U.S. Department of the Interior. The official reason for prohibiting visitors to the island is that there are unexploded ordinance on the island from the times it was used as a military bombing range. Diving is allowed and quite popular around the island due to the crystal-clear waters.

Can you see Puerto Rico from Dominican Republic?

Is it technically possible? Yes. Can it be done. Probably not, and definitely not from the beach.

It is much more likely to be able to see Isla Mona (Mona Island) which is a Puerto Rican Island that lies halfway between Hispañola and the island of Puerto Rico.
