My daughter and family had a blast. But, there were downfalls. Many of them actually! (You're better off finding another beach!) 1. You have to pay $5 -- Each person to use the restroom! Yes you heard that right. 2. There was garbage everywhere! Thats bad part on the visitors but also on their maintenance. Such a beautiful beach to be covered in as much garbage as i seen. 3. Lots of rocks in the water. Like it's almost impossible to be inside without water shoes!! Overall I had a good experience. Didn't use the restroom at all. Was not going to waste $5 each. There were like 10 of us, yeah, no. Everyone waited til we got to walmart across the street.

Clean beach with shallow water and some big waves a few hundred feet out near the break. $3 ice creams from the lady with the beach cart are a nice treat at a good price. All in all a great beach/playa!

We did almost all of our activities during our vacation with Verdeazul because we knew these guys…read morewere the best. We did the river and ocean paddleboarding tours, and two surfing tours. We had Adrian and Giovanni for the tours and just had a blast! They really treat you well and accommodate the tours to your style. It's like your just hanging out with some old friends. Your not just doing these awesome adventures - we also learned about the Puerto Rican culture, ancestry history, and they gave great restaurant recommendations. We rented a car but some other people on our tour group were picked up by Verdeazul for the adventures. Adrian even helped us get connected to a vet when we found a sato (Puerto Rican slang for a street mutt)! We have the most memorable memories from this trip thanks to the guys at Verdeazul! We strongly suggest booking something through them and would recommend it to all our friends and family. They take all the photos for you and email them to you so you don't have to worry about trying to capture the moment and enjoy it at the same time. Not to be missed!

We decided to book a kayaking tour, but I wish we would have paddle boarded but kiddos didn't want. Anyway, as I mentioned the owner was awesome when we arrived. Brian our guide on the tour was super laidback. Was trying to find things to point out during our tour and wasn't invasive at all. Allowed us space to enjoy the beautiful scenery as a family. We stopped for a bit at a swing and the kids had a blast. Some dude told confronted Brian about some permit, which brian told me later they of course had, but Brian played it cool and let the man say his piece and he went on his way. Really a memorable experience. Amazing views of cliffs on the way back. Thanks to Scott and Brian for the experience. We will see y'all next time for sure

I absolutely love this beach. I came here as young as 5 yrs old up to adulthood. It's beautiful,…read morethe water is refreshing, just don't leave valuables in the parking lot. It isn't the best part of town. I've never felt in danger though. The sand is incredibly soft, carameled colored. The water is a clear mint color. It's right next to a lighthouse that has a beautiful view of the coast line. I heard an American say, "I love it here, I want to move here! " It made us giggle. It was amazing to see how there's no more parking lot. Hurricane Maria blew so much sand in that all the sand completely covered the parking lot.

No stores or any kind of place to buy anything. There is a guy renting chairs and umbrellas but they are limited, there is not shade close to the beach but you can safe swin. The beach next to it is for surfers and it is not safe to swin plus not liveguard at all. The shorter way to walk there is a little dangerus, a lot of roks can end on a bad fall. i find out from one of the locals that if you want to skip the rocks you can walk using an entrance that is on the side of the road and you will end up on the surfers beach and just walk to la poza. i will add a picture where this entrance is locaded.

Paradise is the best word that describes Guilligan's Island. My husband took me here when we were…read morefirst dating and I immediately fell in love with it. It took some damage during Hurricane María in 2017 and then during the January 2020 earthquakes. You can see some structures such as the bbq pits destroyed (I wish I had taken a picture). I don't know if the ferry is operational again. However, if you have a kayak, paddleboard or boat, you can access the island. That is what we did this past weekend. We were staying with some friends at Copamarina Beach Resort. We rented two kayaks and paddled out there. It takes about 20min each way. When we arrived there weren't many people there. It was so quiet and peaceful. It was as close as you could get to having the place to yourself. We found a nice spot and chilled. The kids loved it too. The next day we returned with drinks and snacks (we took all the trash back with us to the resort). We encountered some curious iguanas which we had to fend off so they wouldn't approach our food. Still, it was a fun day.

This is my number one beach in PR in general! Puerto Rico has many beaches that all carry their own…read morebeauty but from the first time I've came here I fell in love with this beach and now this is my third time visiting. There's always space available and getting there early now is crucial because now the little green forest has a river canal that brings in the brown water during the early afternoon but in the morning the water is crystal clear. They also have a food stand that also has restrooms if need be. Please if you visit this beautiful peaceful beach bring an extra garbage bag to take your trash out when you're done, the garbage is located by the food stand by the smoking section. Parking outside is either paid or if you get there early you can find a spot outside of the parking lot like I did.

We accessed Survival Beach via a 2 mile trail to see the sea caves on the way. The sea caves were…read moreawesome! At the end of the trail was the beach and it was incredibly blue and clean. The waves are definitely aggressive and I wouldn't risk going further out than about 30 feet because the sand quickly changes to bedrock and you would risk getting extremely injured if swept under by a wave.

If you are reading this because you are thinking to go to survival beach, please allow me to share…read morebelow: - You need to finish a REAL HIKE to get to the beach. - I'd rate this hike as MODERATE to DIFFICULT. As of August 2025, this hike is OVERGROWN and not clearly marked, imho. The info board says that it takes 30-min but it took us 45-min one-way. - You need to have closed toe shoes and sufficient water. I think one thing is about managing your expectations which may not be fully shown disclosed in certain tik tok videos: - The view is descent, but the waves are aggressive. - The beach is not crowded since it is a bit off the beaten path - BUT does it really worth packing two types of shoes (sportswear and beachwear), 90-min hiking in the jungle, and risks of washing away by aggressive waves. Overall, I'd NOT recommend this beach to my friends unless he/she is adventurous and physically fit.

If you saw the Anthony Bourdain No Reservations, PR episode you know the story about the man who…read morelost his cow through an ocean blowhole at Isabela. Having followed Anthony to the Tiki Bar in Hawaii, and other places, and having preceded him to Popotla Beach in Baja, and other places, we were determined to find the Isabela blowhole. In typical fashion, Mr. Bourdain was a little cryptic about his locations, and that didn't help. We searched and searched and searched and finally found the blowhole. A sign would come in handy, but noooooooooo. The Isabela Blowhole is located in a rocky and sandy shoreline area called Baño La Princesa, which is just north of Jobos Beach. You park at the bottom by the beach restaurants and you walk up the hill - and there it is. But it wasn't blowin'. Blowholes can be that way. To work their best magic, they need a high tide, a decent swell and strong winds. Oh yes, and a hole or two in the rock. Hawaii does good blowholes with that lava rock. The blowholes I currently remember seeing are: Spouting Horn, west of Poipu, Kauai; Halona Blow Hole, south end of Sandy Beach, Oahu; Nakalele Blow Hole, West Maui; La Bufadora, north of Ensanada, Baja MX, and; the Kiama Blowhole south of Sydney, Australia (up to 60 meters high). Maybe I'm a blowhole groupie. It's beginning to sound that way. Sorry my pictures suck on this one. Blurry and all. When it 'aint blowin', what do you really take a picture of anyway? This non-performing hole is lucky to get three stars. But I have been kinda hard on PR the Welfare Island, so it gets a break on this one.

Definitely worth checking out if you are in Isabella! It is an old folk tale of this man who lost…read morehis cow at the blow hole. It has a great view of the beach and isn't a far walk from parking. It's a little rocky so I suggest sneakers. Fun little spot!
