This beach in Puerto Rico is the finest we have come across. The stunning blue waves are a sight to behold, though swimming is not advisable. The inlet is completely isolated, as previous visitors have noted, and requires a bit of a trek to reach. It is suggested to wear shoes with a closed toe, such as sneakers, as sandals may prove challenging. The sand is a tad rough, but this appears to be the norm for beaches in Puerto Rico. We visited on a quiet Monday afternoon and had the entire beach to ourselves for hours, enjoying the sound of the waves and soaking up the sun. There are no facilities available due to the seclusion, but it is definitely worth the journey. Additionally, there are a few palm trees that offer shade if you need a break from the sun.

This beach is a sight to behold, with its stunning natural beauty and serene atmosphere. It's the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the sun while sitting on the water's edge, although the waves can be quite powerful, especially during our visit in mid-September around 4 pm. The path leading to the beach is relatively straightforward to navigate, but it's advisable to wear closed-toe shoes and insect repellent since the area tends to get muddy after rainfall and is infested with mosquitoes.

What a sight to behold! This beach is a true gem with its breathtaking views of the verdant cliffs that surround it. And the best part? It's just a quick detour from the main trail, so you won't have to break a sweat to get here. But let's not get too excited, shall we? Swimming is not recommended here, as the waves can be quite unforgiving without the protection of a reef. So, unless you're a daredevil, you might want to stick to sunbathing and admiring the scenery.

The beach features a stunning view of Fajardo and the Seven Seas Beach, making it a truly picturesque location. However, for those who are inexperienced swimmers, it may present some challenges due to the powerful currents and the potentially hazardous ocean floor. Nevertheless, this beach is perfect for relaxing on the shore with some refreshing beverages, chatting with friends, or basking in the warmth of the sun while admiring the breathtaking scenery.

The beach is simply breathtaking with its stunning and picturesque views that are truly amazing. Although it's not recommended for swimming, it's the perfect spot to relax and admire the raw power and beauty of the ocean. However, there isn't much natural shade available during the day, but it does get better as the afternoon approaches.
