I adored the beach, although it would have been even more enjoyable if the recent storm hadn't impacted the area. The coconut palms were partially uprooted, and some foliage was scattered about. Despite the black sand, the beach was partially covered in sand from deeper waters, which was not the beach's fault. I hope that the cleanup efforts will restore it to its former glory soon. Parking was a challenge, and it was tight when it was available. You should bring your own food and drinks. However, the black sand was stunning, and it added to the beach's natural splendor.

The beach is stunning to look at, but the water is quite choppy and may have rip currents, making it unsuitable for novice swimmers. The black sand is a unique feature, and there is even a river delta nearby. Unfortunately, there is a fair amount of natural debris due to Hurricane Maria in 2017, and the beach doesn't seem to have been well maintained since then. However, there are several small restaurants within a short distance, and the Maunabo lighthouse is less than half a mile away.

Although the area has been damaged by storms and is yet to be cleaned up, this beach is definitely worth the trip. The journey to the beach offers breathtaking views that are simply SPECTACULAR. The amount of black sand on the beach varies depending on the rains and the tide. The black sand is a result of volcanic eruptions and is washed down from the mountains with fresh water. Although there will always be some black sand, it is not guaranteed that the entire beach will be covered in it. In comparison to Vieques beach, this beach is more easily accessible. It is important to note that there are no services at this beach, so visitors should come prepared. Upon arrival, there is a shelf and the beach is not easily accessible. To get down to the beach, visitors will need to jump 2-3 feet or climb down. However, if you go further back on the road, there is a path that leads down to the beach. The path is surrounded by dense vegetation and can be difficult to spot, so visitors should keep an eye out. A picture of the path is included for reference. Visitors are advised to wear sandals on the beach as there are sand crabs present. If you need to cross the fresh water stream, be sure to take off your sandals and secure them so they do not get washed away by the tide.

It's a great spot for surfing and spending a fun day with the family. However, due to the impact of Hurricane Maria, the restaurants are currently closed and the place could use some renovations.
