El Tuque
El Tuque is a beach and family recreational and tourist complex in the Punta Cucharas sector of Ponce, Puerto Rico. It was designed in the early 1960s by Luis Flores, an architect from Cayey, Puerto Rico.〔(''Periferia: Balneario El Tuque.'' ) Periferia: Internet Resources for Architecture and Urban Design in the Caribbean.

La Perla del Sur. Ponce, Puerto Rico.

Volume III. 1915. Page 283.〕 The once deserted beach was developed into a ''balneario'' (balneary or bathhouse) by the government of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in the mid 1960s, as part of the central government's attempt to provide a network of such recreational spots throughout the Island.〔(''Coastal study sites south coast Puerto Rico: El Tuque Beach, Ponce.'' ) University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez. Department of Geology. Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.〕 It included gazebos and fire pits near the beach, a restaurant, changing rooms with showers and lockers, a children's pool, and two adult olympic size swimming pools with snack bars. By the mid 1980s, however, the area had fallen into disrepair, starting with the swimming pools and parking areas, for lack of proper maintenance. As a result, the beach would opened only sporadically. Eventually the complex was permanently closed in the late 1980s.
