This beach is lovely, relatively clean and has proper facilities as well (multiple clean restrooms), a washing station, etc... There is paid parking available as well. The beach is rather placid so it is definitely kid friendly. Multiple shade options from the trees. Can also rent beach chairs, parasols, etc... Food vendors are present - we were there on a weekday so there were only two but assume it's packed on weekends.

I finished my open water diver certification with Josh at Scuba Dogs. I had an amazing time, and the shop was nothing but professional and informative. They processed my PADI paperwork right away so I could immediately book some more adventures after completing my certification. I would come back to this shop just to say hi and do some snorkeling which they also offer!

Gorgeous beach with a good amount of surf. The water was beautiful as well. There were a lot of rocks, so it was important for swimmers to be cautious while in the water. There were people selling food and ice cream, so we didn’t worry about bringing anything but water with us. There are bathrooms, changing areas and a paid parking lot. We spotted lots of cats that live on the beach too!

We were visiting San Juan on a cruise ship and decided to check out this beach after reading other reviews. It was fabulous! We took an Uber from the cruise port that was around nine dollars and got there in about 10 to 15 minutes. There were showers, bathrooms and we rented a chaise lounge and an umbrella for $15. They took cash, PayPal, or credit cards. It was a great place to swim and relax. Crystal clear water and because of the break wall of rocks, it was very calm. The beach was clean, no seaweed. The bathrooms were clean and there were a couple of food trucks, selling ice cream drinks, snacks, and even some beach products. There were lifeguards, and it felt very safe and a great way to spend the day. There is a Walgreens directly across from the cruise port, so we went in there, and grabbed some sodas, bottled water and snacks to take with us. A really fun, family friendly place to spend a day.

Beautiful warm n serene water beach in San Juan. We Ubered there. There’s parking there but idk anything about it. There’s a lifeguard, bathroom n showers to rinse off. Some independent business locals rent chairs/ umbrellas that run out about 11am, there’s also some ppl there selling snacks n drinks, so bring cash for sure! The beach fills up by noon on weekdays, I’m sure it gets very crowded on weekends.

Stunning body of water. This is a Blue Flag beach - it meets certain environmental requirements, and you can tell, just by how clear the water is. Wear goggles or a diving mask, and you'll witness schools of fish swimming by and the artificial reef. Went scuba diving here and got to see turtles. Thanks to barriers, the water is very calm.

A nice family-friendly beach just outside of Old San Juan, that is part of the Blue Flag beach program meaning there are life guards, outdoor showers and restrooms and they meet certain water quality standards . It is located in Puerta de Tierra section of town, next to the former Normandie Hotel. To the west you can see the Capitol Dome and El Morro Fort. To the east there is a part of the Old City Wall and a fortification to explore. And you can see of the Condado/Ocean Park and Isla Verde waterfront areas. There is a $5.00 parking fee for gated parking (cash only) and is open 7 days.

Loved Old San Juan and the historic things to see . The night life was vibrant and the food options fantastic . Make sure to go to Barrachina the home of the first Pina Colada , Isle verde and Contado beach and the TMOBILE center . Stayed just outside Contado at the Windchimes boutique hotel . Old but clean and comfortable , good bed , hot water , nice sheets , great airconditioning . No concierge and the day staff was of no help in where to go or what to do . Beach is walkable but better to drive 10 minutes to one of the other beaches. Humid as heck in August so pack light clothing . Ubers are easy to get and affordable . Always felt save

The beach is great. There are palms to provide shade. A vendor offers chair and umbrella rentals later in the morning. There are lifeguards and restrooms with outside rinse-off showers. The yellow flag was flying our day there. Locals said it usually flies green (calm waters). Fish! A few locals tossed bread bits and attracted smaller to medium fish that were not shy around swimmers. We saw people snorkeling. A pop-up shop offers basic snorkeling gear, water and basic beach supplies. $5 parking and walking distance to a seaside history trail and the very busy El Hamburguer make this an overall wonderful day trip bargain.
