Puerto Nuevo Playa de Vega Baja Beach — Attraction in Vega Baja

Great beach (sort of an inlet buffered by large volcanic rocks “the monster”). Highly recommend. It’s a bit out of the way, but well worth the effort. Scenic views - great for Insta-flexing, if you’re into that sort of thing. Best to visit on a weekday, where, if you’re lucky enough, you might have the beach to yourself. Try going out to the Monster - the water is very shallow even far out, especially at low tide in the evenings. Not as dangerous as it may look at first. I Went during the Covid restrictions so services were limited. We used the parking lot by the beach which was technically closed, so we parked for free along with everyone else. The parking is typically $4. They had a number of food trucks, but be prepared to wait 20-30 minutes for your food and the options are limited (fried foods mostly - empanadas and such).

It seems like a place where homeless individuals might hang out, and there’s potential for it to be used for drugs. Keep an eye on your kids, especially in that area. Other than that, it's a great spot to...

A “Blue Flag” beach in PR. Been coming here for years and very popular with locals & tourists and family friendly. A beautiful beach. Some entrepreneurs on the beach selling mixed drinks and ice cream.

$5 parking (8am-5pm) with decent bathroom facilities. Chair / umbrella rentals on the beach but no food or drink establishments /amenities on the beach although you will find small business operations (food and alcohol) on the perimeter of the beach. Today I didn’t bring any food / snacks and found the perimeter businesses sufficient in fulfilling my needs so I will support the local economy going forward.

Gets packed on weekends and holidays so take note, today is a Wednesday and there’s a good size crowd here.
