Continue past Plaza Loiza grocery on the right until you reach Parque Barbosa on the right, turn right and the beach is at the end of the park - at low tide you can walk the beach all the way to Condado.

SNORKELING WITH SEA TURTLES!! The beach here is nice, though I feel other nearby beaches are better for regular swimming... However, there is a small cove (all the way at the end of the parking area, past the old buildings) which is almost always occupied with several sea turtles and it's not super crowded so you can often have a chance to swim with them on your own time :-).. it's lovely. If you drive in to park, it's $5.. I however usually park for free on the street outside the park and walk in.

My favorite calm local little beach.. Great for kids, as the rocks block the waves. Walk down the alley across from Bistro Cafe! This is the east end of Isla Verde beach.

Calle Loiza along Ocean Park has a ton of night life including a lot of late night restaurants / bars / DJ & live music options. Walkable from the house - I would NOT recommend walking it alone at night - just like any city.

旅行者へのアドバイス

交通アクセス

Parking in old San Juan.

I would recommend an Uber to Old San Juan. If you insist on driving, park in a garage as rental cars are not allowed street parking there.
