Condado Beach — Attraction in San Juan

Condado Beach is like the Puerto Rican cousin of Miami Beach—if that cousin were cooler, had better food, and didn’t break the bank. Whether you’re looking to soak up the sun, enjoy some killer views, or just people-watch while pretending you’re in a music video, this place delivers on all fronts.

The sand? Soft and golden, perfect for lounging and digging your toes in while sipping on a piña colada (pro tip: bring one from a nearby kiosk, because why not?). The water is gorgeous, with shades of blue that make you wonder if Mother Nature was showing off when she made this spot. Just a heads-up: the waves can be feisty, so maybe hold off on that Instagram Live if you don’t want to end up as a viral fail.

Surrounding the beach are some of the trendiest hotels, restaurants, and bars in San Juan. You can take a swim, dry off, and then stroll over to grab some mofongo or a fancy cocktail like the beach royalty you are. Ashford Avenue, right next door, is the perfect spot for shopping or grabbing dessert when you need to refuel from all that hard work of relaxing.

What I love most is the vibe. It’s a mix of locals and tourists, beach bums and fashionistas, all coming together to enjoy the magic of Condado. Whether you’re chilling under a palm tree or snapping pics with the skyline in the background, you’ll feel like you’re living your best life.

Condado Beach is the ultimate blend of city energy and island relaxation. It’s got everything you need for a perfect day—sun, surf, and the occasional reminder to reapply sunscreen. Just go, have fun, and try not to leave with sand in your shoes (you will, but...

I didn't plan to be there but I am glad I did. So the day I was gonna do the night kayaking I decided to search the nearest area & what's to see there. That's when this beach came up on google . When I searched how far is from my kayaking place it showed me that it's very close. That's when I decided to go there first & just chill there until it's time to kayak.

At the entrance I saw them selling pinna colada & asked one without alcohol, lol the way she looked at me was just too funny ! She must have thinking I am crazy ! I still laugh just thinking about it..!

I gotta say what a clean, beautiful beach. Area is smaller but kinda peaceful. I enjoyed staying there under my umbrella for 20$ a day lol with my virgin Pina Colada ! I was so relaxed that almost forgot to take pictures! But I managed to take some before I left.

There are a lot of restaurants, hotel near by. I also ended up going to a seafood restaurant...

The beach of Condado is a very popular beach among tourists in San Juan craving a Caribbean beach resort experience with all the vibrant life of a city just steps away. It attracts diverse crowd, from families to famous celebrities. If you want to play on the water, you can enjoy windsurfing, a very popular watersport in Condado. all the top hotels and resorts are close as well as restaurants.

Well , despite tempting Condado Beach is not safe for swimming or bathing, the water has very dangerous currents. Neither adults nor children should be swimming at Condado Beach. Nearby, you can walk to Playita del Condado, (Playita means small) a small beach with calmer water, better for swimming and doing a little snorkeling.

We just came here, clicked few pics, dipped feet in sea water, wander around and moved to Playita condado.

Ps: I did not see any...
