Go early, so the water is calm and the sun is shining (and you can find parking) - enter about the middle of the beach, where entry is easiest, and swim toward the steps. There is an incredible elkhorn coral forest, and a veritable garden of fan coral of all colors, swaying mesmerizingly with the gentle waves. The huge schools of blue tang will accompany you with their electrifying blue.

Especially quiet on a weekday, one feels like you have the place all to yourself. The roped off swimming area is safe for kids and fun for adults, the waves let you bob around and feel relaxed. Over to the right of the swimming area it gets rocky, but take a snorkel and go explore the beautiful reef hiding close by. Jaw dropping beautiful sights to see!

Food & Drinks
Best Bakery around! They are known for baking the best "brazo gitano" (a.k.a. Spanish Cake Roll) in all of Puerto Rico. "Brazo Gitano" is a spongy-like cake, rolled and filled with whipped cream, jelly (try the Guava and pistachio) or icing. Sounds tempting, no? It's great... specially with a cup of coffee.

This place is right along the water with fantastic views during the day. The carne frita was delicious and wasn't overcooked like some other places. Of course I also had arroz con habichuelas and shared a plate queso frito and sorullitos for appetizers. The staff was also very friendly but not overbearing and gave great recommendations.
