This area is storm damaged and has not been cleaned up. However this beach is well worth the trip if for nothing else the views on the way there are SPECTACULAR.

The amount of black sand depends on the rains and the tide. The black sand washes down from the mountains with the fresh water and the black sand is volcanic eruption leftovers. The tide washes the black sand away. It seems like there wil always be some black sand but don't expect all black sand. The beach in Vieques is the same as far as the amount of black sand, this beach is just more accessible.

There are no services so come prepared. When you first arrive to the area there is a shelf and the beach is not easily accessible. You would have to jump 2-3 feet or climb down. If you go as far back as you can on the road there is a path down. The path has a lot of vegetation, it can be hard to see. I included a picture of the path.

Wear your sandals on the beach, there are sand crabs. If you walk across the fresh water stream, take your sandals off and secure them so they are not washed away with the tide.
