San Juan Public Beach — Attraction in Luzon

Sticky sand when wet, beach isn't ideal for swimming but you can submerge yourself and pretend to be a boat. But it's mainly for surfing, and they're plenty of surfing vendors spread across the beach.

Beach like all beaches in Philippines have some trash problems but that's usually due to tide bringing in trash or some money not picking up their own trash. Didn't see any litter fine signs.

Life guards are available but that's usually to enforce beach open and close hours. You're on your own in the water. It does have signs warning about strong currents, highly recommend following the advise.

You can bring food and other stuff and just chill, plenty of vendors walking around offering snacks and drinks.

Overall it's an okay beach. The sunsets are beautiful here, so best to enjoy the sunset...

Night life is super active with an array of places to choose from. As for the surfing, waves are decent though in my opinion waves in baler are much better.
