Playa Puerta De Tierra — Attraction in Puerto Rico

I finally found this “hidden” beach in between Playa Escambron and Playa Capitolo, just outside of Old San Juan. The path through the trees starts on the other side of the sidewalk fence, and its a bit steep and drops down about two stories to the beach below. Its very much worth the short hike because this beach is completely isolated and usually deserted. There’s a reef “bathtub”, plenty of shade in the treeline, and the water is surprisingly calm for its location. Bring a backpack only, no coolers or chairs, and lock your bikes up or park your car on the opposite side of Avenida Luis Munoz Rivera on one of the short side streets.

Note: Most of the other reviews here are incorrectly referring to this location as...

If you're cruising catch a cab to this beach. It's clean not to crowded and sea walls protect the area from surf and current. Easy to snorkel and see the fish. Great place to relax. The cab ride is not to expensive and you can catch a cab ride...

Quite public. Very little waves or current. There’s quite a bit of rocks but nothing too bad. Overall a beautiful beach that sees quite a bit of tourism. I would avoid this beach when the cruise ship...
