The beach with stunning beauty. The water is serene, transparent, and has a striking shade of blue. You can rent chairs and umbrellas at a reasonable cost, and the bathrooms and showers are well-maintained and hygienic. The food trucks offer a variety of delicious treats, especially the seafood truck, which I highly recommend. Overall, it's an excellent place to spend your day.

As a child, I always cherished visiting this particular beach, and even now, during my visits to Puerto Rico, it remains one of my top choices. The serene and crystal-clear waters are simply delightful, and the friendly locals make the experience even more enjoyable. However, it is important to note that during the summer season and on weekends, the beach can get quite crowded. To secure a comfortable spot under the shade of a tree or your own umbrella, it is recommended to arrive early. Alternatively, you can rent umbrellas on-site during busy days.

The beach is a true gem, boasting crystal-clear waters that are simply breathtaking. The facilities are top-notch, with clean restrooms and showers that are always well-maintained. To top it off, there is a police presence that adds an extra layer of security and peace of mind. If you're looking to relax in comfort, you can rent chairs, umbrellas, and canopies to make your stay even more enjoyable. The views are simply stunning, and the atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming. Just be aware that the beach closes at 5 pm, so plan accordingly.
