Playa Santa

Top choice in Puerto Rico


From the same parking space as that of Los Morrillos Lighthouse, or from another further on down the track bending left from the lighthouse-approach track, you can follow the trails out to an immaculate crescent beach, where a protected bay makes excellent swimming for both humans and manatees. The beach here is touted as one of western Puerto Rico's best (and given even greater accolades by some): one thing it most certainly has is a welcome feeling of isolation.

Trails from here circle back up to the lighthouse, or you can continue exploring around the windswept headlands.
