Location of the Monapassage in the Caribbean.
The Monapassage is a strait separating the islands of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico. The Monapassage connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Caribbean Sea and is an important shipping route between the Atlantic Ocean and the Panama Canal.
The 130 km wide sea between the two islands is one of the hardest passages in the Caribbean. She has variable tidal currents created by the large islands on both sides and through the formation of sandbanks that lie many miles for both shores. 18 ° 30 'NB, 68 ° 0' WL
