History

Pumpkin Island is a secluded retreat located on the northeast coast of Puerto Rico. It first became known as an exclusive getaway in the early 1900s when wealthy landowners began immigrating to its shores. At that time, Pumpkin Island was untouched by development and boasted vast expanses of pristine wilderness perfect for hunting and fishing. The island soon gained notoriety as a haven for celebrities, business moguls, and other prominent members of society who sought to escape the temptations of mainland America and Puerto Rico. By the 1930s, groups ranging from sportsmen to mermaid fanatics had discovered Pumpkin Island as a place to unwind in style.
