The San José Lagoon (Spanish: Laguna de San José) is a shallow saline lake or lagoon located between the municipalities of San Juan and Carolina in northeast of the main island of Puerto Rico. Despite being located in a highly urbanized area, this body of water is important for its mangrove forests. The Teodoro Moscoso Bridge directly connects the Luis Muñoz Marín Airport in the Isla Verde resort and residential district to the Hato Rey financial and commercial center in the main metropolitan area of Puerto Rico.
