Additional Information
You need to go near rock formation that split the beach in two. You need to mantain yoursel in front of a billabong painting in a rock. It's an easy but tricky spot. Don't be afraid of the reef at the bottom it's shallow but you are not going to get there.
Atmosphere
There are no crowds. This is a good old favorite because it's a litle pice of tranquility.
General
It's one of the best in Puerto Rico because not everyone knows where it is and how to get there. Is a lonly spot so go with someone ( in case of an accident, you don't have to worry about crime here)

#17 - I've been to the search a couple of times and that guy is right . . . the waves are not worth it there so if you really wanna surf go to the bohio or to another beach.
