I came to this place on September 20. Very first time here and the experience was amazing. First of all the facilities looked very clean and maintained. They have Kiosks were they sell food and beverages. The food menu is diverse and the drinks too. Food quality is good and the drinks were made on point. Prices very affordable. The Kiosks are within short walking distance from the beach so you can go back and forth without any issues. You can put a hammock if you want and there are watersports for an extra cost in a designated location. There is also a volleyball court and a kids playground. There are nearby restaurant that offer good food as well. Since I went on a Friday and Summer already ended here it was pretty much empty.
The beach is extremely quiet and the waves break so far away that you can't even see them. You can walk far from the shore and still you won't be fully submerged. The only thing I could say it can be improved is lifeguards and staff presence, I couldn't see anybody from the government around (not saying I was not feeling safe because we were ALL THE TIME) but this could boost confidence specially from tourists.
I also went again September 22 with a group of family members and the experience was consistently the same so this is not hit or miss, it will be great for anybody.
It's great that the government and local Municipality recovered this place after Maria because this is a hidden gem that many people don't know about and they should definitely...
Read moreSpent a lovely day here. We wanted to experience the Caribbean side of PR. The Atlantic side was too rough to swim. This beach was recommended by one of our tour guides who said he lived in the town of Patillas. The water was very calm, no waves, but there was seaweed not far from shore. No chairs but there were painted cement benches. We found a nice one under a palm tree. There are food kiosks nearby but most weren’t open. We went instead to a restaurant up the street (Mar de la Tranquilidad) and got takeout from there. There were lots of cute stray dogs running around, not aggressive but friendly. There are bathrooms on site. Didn’t see showers. The beach itself isn’t very wide or super sandy. Still, it...
Read moreSi quieres acampar 🏕️ ⛺️ gratis, este es el lugar. Si quieres conectar con la naturaleza 🍂 aquí NO es, está literalmente al lado del Malecón y hay kioscos y mucho movimiento, la música termina de 1.30 de la madrugada a casi 3:00 de la madrugada, merengue en un kiosko, bachata en otro, sin mencionar los carros con música de todas clases, salsa, reguetón etc… Tienen baños que solo tienen área de lava manos, toilet y cubículos para cambiarte, NO tienen bañera pero al ser balnearios tiene. Afuera unas plumitas que te puedes “bañar”, los baños tratan de mantenerlos limpios pero por lo general el papel se acaba rápido y hay mucha gente que ensucia y se le olvida recoger su desorden. Los kioskos tienen bebidas alcohólicas, jugos, refrescos y frituras, desconozco si venden comida, lo que sí sé es que hay distintos y estoy segura de que alguno tiene que vender comida como tal. Se para una Guaguita de mantecados. Y viendo todo el mundo cierra no abren hasta el otro día me parece que después de las 10 de la mañana así que lleva pan entre otras cosas para el desayuno de lo contrario la panadería más cercana si mal no recuerdo se llama la familia y está en carro a 9 minutos. Queda al lado de la plaza. El agua es tranquila súper bajita pero la arena parece tierra y tiene muchas algas, si eres sensible con lo que tocas lleva zapatillas de playa. Hay muchos cangrejitos pequeños (pero muuuuchos) tienes que tener la caseta de acampar cerrada en todo momento primero porque sino te los llevas para tu casa sin darte cuenta 🦀 y segundo por la plaga, mosquitos 🦟 etc. lleva OFF o algún repelente porque te van a picar aunque te untes imagina sino lo haces, hay demasiada de mucha plaga. Por la mañana es tranquilo, callado y relax. Lleva bolsas para meter tu basura. Hay una malla para los que le gustan jugar voleibol y un parque para los niños. El estacionamiento es bastante grande y hay mucho policía y rondas preventivas constante. Desconozco cómo hacen para los gazebos si los rentan o llegas y los tomas y ya pero tienen electricidad para cargar los cel o llenar...
