My favorite beach as a child! It's gorgeous, has free parking and is very calm waters because there's a rock formation breaking all the waves which you can also climb on and explore easily. This is a very "locals" beach! There are also lots of foods kiosks making delicious fried foods typical of this area of Puerto Rico.
