Playa Ocean Park

Very serene beach in an ideal area! This place made my Good Friday special! Back in Puerto Rico, I chose to stay in the less touristy area of Santurce (east of Condado) and walked just a few short blocks north and found this gem. The beach was very beautiful and expansive in both directions. It had a private and exclusive feel but fully accessible with roaming security presence. (Compared to beaches like in Jamaica that require a fee to access and close access early in the evening.) As a night owl, my first visit was late Friday night and I stayed well after midnight watching the waves, the stars - Big Dipper was in full view, and the moon. I didn't want to leave (would have slept out there) but returned around 5 am to watch the sun rise. I was greeted by a friendly group of dogs (thank you white pitbull who suprise licked me hello.) Upon leaving, I could explore the neighboring gated community better and loved the homes, I saw some really great investment and/or residential opportunities (I need to research further). Aside from the great people I seem to always encounter in San Juan and the history of Old San Juan, I enjoyed my first beach visit!
