4 Frustrating

The absence of restrooms and the lack of government efforts to repair the damages caused by Hurricane Maria have made this beach less appealing. Safety concerns arise due to the absence of necessary facilities. Additionally, the lack of garbage cans creates an unpleasant environment. The parking situation is chaotic and needs improvement.
