The beach is absolutely stunning! The parking area is convenient and well-maintained. Make sure to try the Cod fritters and Pina Colada, they're both delicious! The pineapple is especially noteworthy. There are plenty of fish in the water and I was able to collect a few shells. It wasn't too crowded before noon, which was a bonus.

After our midday meal, we strolled along the adjacent promenade to reach this beach. The sand was exceptionally fine, lending a luxurious feel to the experience. However, the lack of public amenities was a letdown. To compensate, we brought along a generous supply of three gallons of fresh water to rinse off the children after their frolic in the sea.

The beach is truly magnificent, with a natural barrier to the north that provides some protection against the powerful waves. Although the main parking lot was closed during our visit, we found an alternative spot behind the charming 'Kioskos' that is conveniently located right by the beach. Compared to other beaches on Puerto Rico's North shore, this one is slightly more pristine, though you may still come across a stray dog or some litter scattered amongst the sand.

The beach is stunning with crystal-clear blue water and soft, non-rocky sand. It's unnecessary to wear water shoes, and the kids had a great time. We paid $4 for parking and enjoyed delicious food from various vendors, including ice cream, shrimp, and homemade empanadas, without having to leave our spot on the beach (just make sure to have cash on hand). We stayed in a fantastic condo just a few miles away. Follow me on Instagram at riverjmjacqueline.

My friends and I had a wonderful time at this beach. We stayed at Cll Playa Azul APT in Luquillo for four days, which gave us easy access to the beach. The water was calm and clear, and the sand was soft. Palm trees surrounded the beach, making it even more beautiful. There were plenty of water activities available, such as kayaking and surfing. Additionally, there were many kiosks and shops with excellent service. We even enjoyed a refreshing Pina colada while lounging on the beach. The parking lot fee was only $4 for the entire day, which was very reasonable. Overall, we highly recommend this beach.
