Playita del Condado — Attraction in San Juan

The quieter, more compact sister of Condado Beach, Playita del Condado is known for the clarity of its waters. while you can enjoy windsurfing on Condado beach but due to unsafe conditions for swimming out there, Playita (means small in Spanish) Condado beach is the perfect choice for swimming and snorkeling. Be sure to bring along a snorkel mask to discover the vibrant marine life below.

This beach is right at your left side as soon you cross the Puente Dos Hermanos bridge, entering Condado.

The beach is small but certainly makes up for it with its clear, calm, aquamarine waters where one can safely swim and snorkel. The water is calm with shallow spots perfect for small children and adults that just wish to refresh, float, and enjoy an easy swim in the clear turquoise water.

You can rent a Chair for $5 and an umbrella for $15 for the whole day which is till 5 PM, a reasonable price. Like Condado beach, there is no option for a shower or bathroom here as well. Across the road, there are two small food joints offering snacks items and drinks, the most famous one is of course Pina Colada.

It says there are food vendors, but there was only one on this Semana Santa weekend with a very long ride. The coconut water, virgin piña colada in a pinapple shell, and chicken skewers were worth the wait. I tried to capture the calm water at the beach vs. the waves behind the breakwater boulders in the...

I think I had visited the most beautiful beaches I ever visited in San Juan, Puerto Rican. Me and my son, walked from one beach to the other , amazing discovery doing this way. The weather in June is absolutely fantastic, the son is bright and really hot. I love hot weather. THIS CONDADO BEACH , it's a small oceanfront beach. Very small in extension, with a hotel in the back. And a beautiful view of the ocean ahead of you. I never saw one ocean with do clear water. On the right side you have some reefs and some rocks , where you can step and see so many "URCHIN" on the bottom of reefs and around. It's really bringing a good time back. I wish to go to live there for at...
