We visited this beach and based on what we saw it was the best beach on mainland Puerto Rico. To enjoy this beach I highly recommend parking in the pay parking lot, which costs approximately five dollars. The pay lot puts you right at the best part of the beach with all of the amenities. The beach has a bath...

Owner description:
Balneario Monserrate, often referred to simply as Luquillo Beach, is a long cresent of fine sand, with plenty of mature palm trees for shade, and El Yunque National Forest in the background. Due to a fringing reef, there are no waves to speak of, so it's a perfect beach for young kids. The beach has some food kiosks, restrooms, changing rooms, showers, and lifeguards. There is a small fee to park in the gated parking area.

We rented a condo (the tall building) right on the beach. The beach was amazing, there was barely anyone on the beach most of the time. My wife and I felt like it was our own private beach. The sand was nice, the water clear, the waves great. One time we walked and we did not see anyone for half...

Recently spent 3 days in Puerto Rico. It was a short trip, but spending a day at Luquillo Beach was well worth it. Went to the rain forest in the morning (got up early to avoid hiking in the heat), and cooled off at Luquillo beach which was only ~20 minutes away. Parking wasn't a problem, nor was finding a...

Puerto Rico has lots of beaches, so the really nice ones will jade you against what might be a world class beach if it were anywhere else in the world. I think that's largely the case with Luquillo Beach.
You have all of the ingredients of a great beach. There's nice soft sand, a relatively gentle surf, palm trees, etc....

This beach was recommended by our hotel. It was ok. We went on Sunday when everybody in Puerto Rico goes to beach. Great people watching. We may have been in the wrong part of the beach.

This was by far the most beautiful beach we went to in Puerto Rico. Calmer waters and less people made for a more enjoyable experience for families with children.

This beach was fantastic and a hidden gem I would say, there were not very many people, even tourists there. Crystal blue and clean water that are warm and golden sand. What more can you ask for?

First off, this place isnt for everybody. Reading many of the negative reviews of it really crack me up. The beach is gorgeous, but thats not really what im going to focus on. My family and i had already seen plenty of nice beaches, we came here because we heard it was wild on the weekends, and a good way...
