Playa La Jungla — Attraction in Guánica

There is a group at the entrance that is charging money but when ask about providing a receipt for the money collected , they refused to provide one. The question 🤔,

are they government officials since they refused to identify themselves or private entity. If they are private entity, are they registered with the State Department , what is been done with they money collected and is that money been reported with the State Collection Agency, which is Departamento de Hacienda ? This beach shore for a long time had public enterece without any entity whether government or private charging and on top of that without providing a receipt from the money they collect from the public.

A real gem in Guanica, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Jungla Beach is also known as “Las Paldas Beach". This beach is administered by the Department of Natural Resources. It has been cleaned, conditioned with wooden bridges that give access to several small beaches. They put stones on the sidewalks to divide the entrance to the beach with parking on the shore. They charge $2.00 to enter and there is parking. The facilities close at 4:30 PM. This beach is administered by the Department of Natural Resources.

Very glad to know people are still enjoying this beach.

I was raised on this beach by my Grandfather (Victor Rodriguez Vega) in the 70's. I had to leave @ 15 for medical reasons but Abuelo remained there until '86, when he fell ill.. All that remains of his house now is the cement foundation by one of the crowns (manglar) were we lived in a tiny casita, maybe 20 feet x 20 feet. There used to be more palm trees ... Parcha... Uvas and even a Genepa tree on the other side of the salt pit (on moonless nights keep an eye out for the "Hacho linterna").... and a hidden natural spring well (more like a trickle but it always runs).

Many great memories here, living through the huracanes and chubascos while my Grandfather told his fisherman stories. It's too bad you cannot revisit the past to show how beautiful it was in...
