Puerto Rico Highway 115 (PR-115) is a highway which follows the west coastline of Puerto Rico from south

Aguadilla, where it becomes Puerto Rico Highway 111 after intersecting PR-2 again,[3] and is the primary route to the town of Rincón, Puerto Rico,[4]
a tourist and frequent destination of surfers.

Route description

As it enters Rincón, PR-115 becomes a divided highway with one lane per direction, with the median filled with trees, similar to some of the medians found in freeways in the United States. But PR-115 is not a freeway; it is a rural highway mostly one lane per direction. It enters toward downtown Rincón. The highway is subject to severe flooding when it rains.[5]
