Although we didn't go into the water and decided to do more touristy things we stayed a block away from this beach. It seemed nice. The waves in the shallow ends were pretty high but very pretty and a picture perfect moment. From what we saw, it wasn't a crowded beach.

everything a beach should be. Surfers, kids, dogs, food vendors, beer vendors, windsurfers, turtle hacheries, open wates could see down the beahc for miles.

My husband and I recently visited PR and stayed two blocks from Condado Beach. The water was clear and blue, and the beach was nice. There was a man renting chairs for $3 a piece and umbrellas for $10, so we took him up on it. Good decision! The Caribbean sun was too much for us, and there is not... More

Just stopped to take some simple pictures a few blocks from our hotel (Radisson). The tides were high and not a place to sun and hang out, but it was very pretty. I was very impressed with it.

It is like any ordinary beach. We stayed at a hotel that was 2 minutes away. It was nice to walk out there at night and hear the waves crash. This beach is not a clear as blue type of beach. I recommend going to one of the islands like Vieques or if you want to stay inland, Farjardo beach... More

A few locals were booty boarding, others were just frolicking in the waves. The currents are quite strong here and the waves are big. Nice sandy beach but hardly any shade. Did not dare swim as did not want to risk it, even reception at our hotel advised us not to go in. Water pretty cool too, not the warm... More

Our first visit to San Juan was in March of 2013. We rented a condo on Condado beach which was a wonderful place to stay. The beach is well maintained and beautiful. This location is close to everything you will need, shops, restaurants, bars, etc. If you want to get out and around the island the bus will take you... More

This is a wonderful beach and lagoon, well kept and very clean. Nice safe open ocean swimming and in fact while we were there the ironman (woman) competition was taking place right in that area making it even more fun to enjoy.

After seeing the Carolina and Ocean Park beaches, the Condado beach was a big disappointment. It's quite small and the buildings along the beach are just so ugly, some of them are in a very bad shape which surprised us since the most people advise to stay in Condado area. We are glad we stayed in Isla Verde which was... More
