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.
