This beach is a historical site so there is a $3.00 fee to get in. There is restaurant/bar on site. It butts up against a firing range so do not be shocked when you hear gunshots. it is not the white sand beaches of Culebra but the water is clear enough. There is some debris laying around the area and on the beach but not enough that your towel won't cover it. The debris was mostly in the grassy areas. We were there during the week and not during a holiday so we shared the beach with only one other family. My husband snorkeled a little and saw a few fish.
The beach is walled off by a stone wall and you can see Castillo San Felipe del Morro from the wall. The wall is actually great because it blocks the rougher waves on the other side of the wall. Definitely take water shoes or good gripping shoes if you are going to walk the rocks.
Restrooms are not the cleanest and you may consider bringing a roll of toilet paper in case there isn't any (if you are there during a holiday, chances are high that the toilet paper roll will be empty).
There is a historical fort on the premises and we saw some locals fishing off the rocks so if you have a fishing rod, take it with you.
Be sure to take your camera with you! Some great views of the Fort across the Bay.

Great spot to cool down after a hard day, so relaxing between east coast Toa Baja y west coast El Castillo del Morro in San Juan!! Palms every where no deep at all, grill area, fishing spot at the south side nice restaurants around to enjoy and have a blast of fun. If you like adventure like me there is a perfect bridge to make a flip and jump love it ;)

Isla de Cabras is a little island extending over the bay of San Juan where you can have a scenic walk or jog. It's is a short drive from the metro area at the entrance to San Juan Bay with great views of the fort, Old San Juan, and the cruise ships. Designated a National Historic Site, it houses Fortin (Fort) San Juan de la Cruz (also known as El Cañuelo), a small fort that was built by the Spanish in order to defend the entrance to the San Juan Bay, as well as several small ruins. Food is available for purchase and covered picnic pavilions are available for rent. There are beaches for swimming and fishing and a boat ramp. We packed a picnic lunch and enjoyed it in the shade of a palm tree. You are truly surrounded by water and cool breezes here. Since we went on a holiday, it was very crowded with parties blaring competing music. The restrooms needed attention. Pack a roll of toilet paper, just in case.

Drove over here to check out the fort, turns out only locals can get in. It says $5 entry fee but the guard wouldn’t let anyone in. He was mean and threatening. We turned around and left

This is a place that you can go with kids. There is a little area to get inside the sea but is really good to have a great time. You also see the San Juan Bay and the San Felipe del Morro Castle for the other side of the bay.

Isla de Cabras is the perfect place to go with the family for a picnic. You can take some pre cooked food, your favorite beverage and enjoy the breeze just beside the ocean!
Also, you can celebrate birthdays or any special ocassion. They rent gazebos that you can use and enjoy your day. You will find there clean bathrooms, and a place to eat and drink if you don't want to carry food.
