    This was a really nice beach with lots of parking. It was a busy day and we came later in the day but there were still amble parking for the minimal fee of $5. There were lots of stray dogs, but I'm a dog person. The views are just beautiful. There are you cove areas to swim. I walked up the rocks to get a view of the entire beach.

    Very beautiful beach. Restrooms and showers available near the front entrance. I read some of the reviews below and some people are just so stinking picky and hard to please. This is a simple beach. Simple bathrooms. Simple shower. You will have a lovely time with your family if you enjoy the simple things in life, I promise. We only paid $3 for parking today. A lifeguard is on duty. The view is gorgeous.

    Family beach with paid parking. A lifeguard is on duty and people come around selling food on bikes or cookies in boxes. There is a shower area which is a big plus after a few hours playing in sand and salt water. It was pretty clean, too. Good depth for kids and no dramatic drops.

    Da beach!

    You have to love a place that's literally a giant beach. We stayed a few days in Vega Baja close to a friend's house and decided to venture down here. Puerto Nuevo has some good waves because of high winds toward the rocky shore of the beach but since we were trying to bounce around our volleyball (don't you travel with a volleyball??) we head down to the popular section of the beach which was an inlet. The water was calm; restrooms, food and beverages were available. (They have the giant packets of Sangriiia, the sangria advertised everywhere--even the bathrooms.) There's a parking lot that says it's $10 but interestingly enough, the parking on the other side doesn't have a sign sooooo we didn't pay anything. This is the Atlantic Ocean side of the island, so it's cooler than the south/southeast but it was still as warm as bathwater to a Seattleite like me. It wasn't busy when we went on a Friday during the day, so we were able to get a spot under the tree, but if it does get busy, make sure to wear a hat or make a towel tent ;) A-OK!

    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.

    Island Venture is the one and only ferry that takes the public to and from Caja de Muertos. Only…read moreone ferry sets sail each day. The only other way to get there is by private boat. Launching from La Guancha, the dock was easy to get to and there was plenty of parking. For $28 roundtrip (as of 12/16), it was a value excursion! On this uninhabited island, there are no stores or vendors. Bring your own food, drinks, and beach comfort items. The ferry does sell drinks, some alcoholic beverages, snacks, and food (hot dogs and kebabs). You have to preorder the food in the morning and they'll cook it up fresh while you go play on the island, serving lunch at noon. For $60, you get roundtrip transportation and twelve meal and drink tickets (two tickets for food items, one ticket for snacks and drinks, including beer). The prices onboard are actually quite reasonable, so the meal tickets really aren't that much of a deal, in my opinion. You can also rent beach chairs and snorkeling gear from Island Ventures at very affordable prices. On this gorgeous island, we wanted to do it all! We wanted to hike to the lighthouse, explore the caves, play at the beach...everything! But we somehow couldn't get away from the water. We played at the beach, snorkeled, and then beached again. Snorkeling gear was only ten bucks to rent (as of 12/16), but because I can't swim and needed a life vest, I paid another two bucks for the whole shebang. While we were close to coral along the shore, it wasn't the best snorkeling environment. Not a lot of wildlife around all those human types that lined the shores. There were many fish under the dock, so we carefully explored that area. The water is a brilliant turquoise, but not very clear (it wasn't dirty, it just wasn't crystal clear), so it was often times difficult to see, even from a short distance away. Ferry leaves La Guancha at 8:30 AM on the dot, so get there early to check in and grab a seat. The forty-five minute ride each way is pretty smooth. Ferry leaves the island at 3:30 PM. That's almost six hours on the island! For us, it was just right. A perfect day on a gorgeous island with an attentive ferry staff.

    We had an AMAZING day at Isla Caja de Muertos aka Coffin Island (which annoys me because it's not a…read moreword for word translation and Box of the Dead Island sounds way better). The Island itself is 5 + stars, but one of the only ways to get there (Island Ventures) knocks it down a star. Island Venture Ferry Basics -- $25 per person which includes two drink tickets (can be claimed for Medalla Light, Coors Light, or soda). You can also upgrade your ticket for $10 and get 15 drink tickets (!) --Boat leaves from La Guancha at 8:30am (but you must arrive by 7:40am) and from the island at 3:30 (boards at 3). Ride takes about 45 minutes and has a lower level with shade. --They also sell hot dogs and kebabs and rent umbrellas on the ship and the ship stays docked there so you can continue to purchase drinks/food while you're on the island. Caveats: --The company holds weird hours and are hard to get a hold of, especially if you don't speak Spanish. --Their online booking system can be glitchy, my friend's reservation got mixed up for the wrong day. --Spots book up fast, book early! --They charge a fee for coolers (although we had soft/bag style coolers and were not charged). --We shared the boat with a school trip...so yea, there's that. ISLAND --AWESOME. --Walk up (down? into?) the cave. --Walk up to the lighthouse for some AMAZING views (30 minutes, bring water, we did it in flip flops but prob shouldn't have). --Love life on the beach. Watch out for jellyfish though! --Snorkel! (Not the best I've seen, but still cool). --Admire cacti and wildlife (hermit crabs and lizards everywhere!) During some seasons there are apparently sea turtles nesting! --Pack a picnic and enjoy it on the picnic tables! They also have compost "bathrooms." They smell and don't have soap, but there's TP! --Avoid the small beach to the left of the dock (if you're facing the island)-loaded with bugs! --Perfect day trip and one of my favorite activities from our Puerto Rico trip! ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND. Must go!

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.

Get a pina cola before boarding the boat (leaves every hour on the hour). You can bring chairs, and definitely bring a cooler with drinks and a float! And lunch!! We packed up a lunch and our drinks and enjoyed the entire day there. It was beautiful. It's like a natural lazy river and beach all in one! I would highly recommend. It's incredible.
