Isla de Cabras (Spanish for goat island) is an islet located at the entrance of San Juan Bay, immediately across from San Juan Islet in Puerto Rico. It is part of the Palo Seco barrio of the municipality of Toa Baja. The island is home to El Cañuelo fort, which alongside El Morro castle on San Juan Islet, protected San Juan Bay, the harbor of the historic city of Old San Juan, from competing world powers during the Age of Sail.

Isla de Cabras is the current location of:

  • Fortín San Juan de la Cruz, also known as El Cañuelo.[1]
  • A recreational park.
  • A local police firing range.
