When you grow up on an island that is 110 miles long and 35 miles wide, there’s plenty of family outings that include beaches! \u00a0It’s hard to pick “best” or “favorite” since I feel that the selection of beaches in Puerto Rico can serve many purposes. \u00a0That being said, that is what I am doing with this post: giving you a round-up of my picks depending on your needs.\u00a0\u00a0From surfer waves to nature’s swimming pools, here are my Dining Traveler Picks….<\/p>\n

Dining Traveler Picks: \u00a0Beaches in Puerto Rico<\/em><\/h2>\n
\"Beaches<\/a>
Ocean Park Beach<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When in San Juan:<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0Those who live in Puerto Rico know the best beaches are not in San Juan. Sorry. \u00a0However, when it’s 10 degrees Fahrenheit in the East Coast and you only have 72 hours on island you’ll take something close to the airport! \u00a0My favorite beach in San Juan is Ocean Park<\/strong>. \u00a0It’s a neighborhood beach where locals go for a few hours of sunshine, to walk their dogs, and spot a few kite surfers. \u00a0During the weekdays the vibes are very chill but it can get pretty crowded on the weekends. \u00a0Getting there: Google Maps Link to Ocean Park<\/a>. \u00a0Dining Traveler Tip: \u00a0head to Kasalta bakery before or after your beach outing for some of the best sandwiches and pastries on island.<\/em><\/p>\n

Family Beach:<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0One of the beaches in Puerto Rico I always recommend to my friends with kids is Luquillo Beach<\/strong> on the northeast side of the island. \u00a0The water is shallow and clear and many locals bring their families there. \u00a0There’s plenty of parking and the famous Kiosks of Luquillo are right next to the beach where you can indulge in all the fried Puerto Rican delicacies: \u00a0empanadas, stuffed plantains (piononos), and alcapurrias. \u00a0Wash them down with medallas (local beer) if the kids are stressing you out. \u00a0Getting there: Google Maps Link to Luquillo Beach<\/a>. \u00a0Dining Traveler Tip: \u00a0Beach too crowded? \u00a0Head east on the beach for 20 minutes and you’ll find less crowded spots.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Beaches<\/a>
Inches Beach, Patillas, Puerto Rico<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Local Beach:<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0One of my favorite beaches in Puerto is Inches Beach<\/strong> in the town of Patillas. \u00a0Is it the most beautiful beach? No. \u00a0Is there something remarkable? Not really. \u00a0However, it’s a beach that has sentimental value to me. \u00a0My dad used to take us there to eat something on the beach and hang out. \u00a0Also what makes the beach special is the journey: \u00a0take the long way along Route 3 for some beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea coming together. \u00a0Getting there: \u00a0Google Maps Link to Inches<\/a>. \u00a0Dining Traveler Tip: \u00a0During the non-hurricane season,\u00a0the rocky beach is clear and\u00a0calm, during hurricane season (late summer\/early fall), it’s a surfer’s spot.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Beaches<\/a><\/p>\n

Off-the-beaten path:<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0Don’t disregard the southern coast of the island when looking for great beaches in Puerto Rico.\u00a0I visited Playa Buye<\/strong> for the first time last year as I was researching for Dining Traveler Guide to Puerto Rico and it was love at first sight. \u00a0It’s not an easy beach to get to as you have to cross a residential neighborhood and it may look a bit dodgy, but when you arrive, it’s pure paradise. \u00a0With barely no waves, blue waters, it’s the perfect beach to just chill. Getting there: Google Maps Link to Playa Buye<\/a>. \u00a0Dining Traveler Tip: make this one of your last stops of your beach day as the sunset is epic!<\/p>\n

Gem of the South:<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0Aside from Playa Buye, there are some great beaches in Puerto Rico lining the southwestern coast. \u00a0One of my favorites is Combate Beach located in Cabo Rojo.<\/strong> \u00a0The water is turquoise, light sand, and calm. \u00a0Whether you’re traveling with your family or alone with a book, the beach offers great views. \u00a0At the end of the day, head to Annie’s Place for a passion fruit mojito to catch the sunset. \u00a0Getting there: Google Maps Link to Combate Beach. Dining Traveler Tip: Making a weekend out of your trip to Cabo Rojo? Stay at Parador Combate Beach, a local owned guesthouse.<\/p>\n

\"Las<\/a>
Surf Instructor Ramse Morales at Las Marias Beach. Photo Credit: Italo Morales<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Surfer’s Paradise:<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0Las Marias Beach<\/strong> in Rincon is where I first tried my hand at surfing back in 2011. I recently returned to photograph for my book and it was just as awesome as it was five years ago. \u00a0There, you interact with surfers of all backgrounds and skill levels. Getting there: Google Maps Link to Las Marias<\/a>. \u00a0Dining Traveler Tip: \u00a0If you’re looking for an awesome local instructor, look up Ramse at Surf Lessons Puerto Rico<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Local Favorite:<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0If you ask locals or those in the diaspora\u00a0for their top five beaches in Puerto Rico, you may hear the word “Crashboat Beach” often. \u00a0There’s a reason why: \u00a0with clear blue waters, a pier to jump off of and fine sand, it’s a great place to hang out and make a beach day on the northwest coast of Puerto Rico. \u00a0Given it’s a favorite, it can get quite crowded on the weekends so I advise to go either on a weekday or early in the morning on weekends. \u00a0Getting There: Google Maps Link to Crashboat Beach<\/a>. \u00a0Dining Traveler Tip: Bring your snorkel! \u00a0There\u00a0is some great sea life to be seen close to the pier…<\/p>\n

\"Beaches<\/a>
End of the day at Playa Jobos in Isabela<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Beach with a View:<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0Playa Jobos is another beach known for surfing, located in the town of Isabela on the northern coast of the island. \u00a0Playa Jobos strikes the perfect balance: there’s an area with high swells, perfect for surfers and a lagoon like area for those who love their surfers but don’t want to hit the swells. \u00a0Getting There: Google Maps Link to Playa Jobos<\/a>. \u00a0Dining Traveler Tip: \u00a0bring some sneakers or hiking shoes and head to the high point on the rocky coastline, it’s great to see the contrast between the calm lagoon and the fury of the Atlantic.<\/p>\n

\"Beaches<\/a>
Playa Flamenco, Culebra, Puerto Rico<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Idyllic Views:<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0Playa Flamenco<\/strong> is not only considered one of the best beaches in Puerto Rico but in the world. \u00a0Folks, the hype is real. \u00a0Playa Flamenco is located in Culebra, a small island off the East Coast of Puerto Rico. \u00a0There, you’ll find a soft stretch of white sand, beautiful turquoise waters, and a relaxed vibe. \u00a0I also like the fact that the beach has accessible parking, functioning bathrooms, delicious kiosks with local food, and for the more adventurous ones: campgrounds. \u00a0Getting there: \u00a0Google Maps Link to Flamenco Beach<\/a>. \u00a0Dining Traveler Tip: \u00a0You can get there via ferry from Fajardo or a short flight from San Juan or Ceiba.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Beaches<\/a>
Playa Negra, Vieques. \u00a0Photo Credit: Italo Morales\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Uncommon Beach:<\/em><\/strong> \u00a0I recently visited Playa Negra in Vieques and was quickly taken by this small, hidden beach. \u00a0My humble opinion: \u00a0Vieques has some of the best beaches in Puerto Rico. \u00a0It may be a sticker shock to rent a jeep to get around the island, but it is worth it. \u00a0From Caracas Beach to La Chiva, this island off the east coast of Puerto Rico will make you not leave. However, Playa Negra is my favorite as it is a bit of a journey to get there. You have to park on the side of the road, and take a ten minute walk to the beach. Once you’re there, it’s a tiny slice of paradise with silky black sand and turquoise waters. \u00a0Getting There: Google Maps to Playa Negra<\/a>. Dining Traveler Tip: \u00a0The path to Playa Negra is a bit rough, make sure you bring bug spray and close toed shoes!<\/p>\n

Another favorite: Playa Chiva, Vieques. Photo Credit: Italo Morales<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I can add a few more “honorable mentions” of beaches in Puerto Rico that I recommend: \u00a0Seven Seas in Fajardo, Playa Sucia in Cabo Rojo, Playa Melones in Culebra but there’s not enough space in this post! \u00a0Whether you have lived in Puerto Rico all your life or you’re a tourist, I suggest getting in your car or rental and discover your own favorite beach on the island. \u00a0What’s your favorite beach in Puerto Rico? \u00a0Share in the comments! I make it a point to go to a new spot every time I travel back to the island…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
