Took friends on 2 hour ride and really enjoyed the experience. Problem was I have a bad hip but never even considered it when making reservation. Lot of pain during and after ride but it was still a great time.
Fernando and Kevin were GREAT. Very good job explaining everything, attention to detail, explaining history/background pertinent to Puerto Rican roots. Really interesting
and informative.They were also very attentive to riders during the time we spent with them, very helpful. Would highly recommend.

I love this beach! It has perfect waves, sandy bottom, beautiful aqua blue waters, shade on the beach and coconut trees along the shore. We were surprised little had been done to fix the parking lot since the hurricane. This is usually a very crowded beach. It was very empty when we visited and all the bathrooms and snack shacks are closed. You can still walk down to the numbered stalls but it is a long walk and they only let you use the bathroom if you buy something. We brought a hammock and tied it up between 2 coconut trees, bring good beach chairs and maybe a float or even pool noodles to leisurely enjoy this gorgeous beach!

What a great way to spend an afternoon after the rain forest or to just pack a cooler and hang out. We felt safe here. The sand is soft, the water was warm and we had a bit of wind and waves. We dug down in the water and found many live sand dollars. Parking is free and you might hear the music depending upon the spot you pick.

The directions in other posts are correct. Ask a local and then keep your eyes open. Worth the search. Pay your $5 and have fun. Great time!!

The water here was very rough and there were signs up all over to not go swimming. It seems the only people in the water were Surfing. It's a very nice beach but on a hot day it's a bit too hot to sit on the sand and not have the water to cool off, so we only stayed for half an hour or so. The sand was amazing though. Probably the softest sand I've ever walked on, and it was a beautiful gold colour that I've never seen before.

My husband and I are non-swimmers so we always missed out on water activities. When we read tripadvisor reviews on snuba, we were thrilled that we could perhaps do this despite not knowing to swim. We missed our snuba tour due to some ferry cancellation as we were headed back to Luquillo from vieques. Instead of shrugging us off, Adam (the owner) was so gracious that he actually gave a separate tour just for us! Of course, it was a toned down version of the tour in the sense, we didn't go on a boat to a spot where the reefs could be found but nevertheless, he took the trouble to bring all the necessary equipment, and gave us about 45 minutes to an hour doing snuba. I opted out of it as I was not well but my husband totally enjoyed it. Adam was willing to give us the tour for free (for real) but we felt bad that he had to go to all this trouble just to give us the experience. Finally he charged us just $20- that included the training, the gear and equipment. He took pictures under water as well- we haven't got it yet but he promised that he will send it after he develops the films. We were going to do the regular snuba tour the next day but our packed schedule didn't allow us much time to do it. We will definitely do it the next time we are at PR and we highly recommend this tour to all! It is fun and a must do thing if you are at Luquillo. A special thanks to Adam for going out of the way and making this a memorable trip for us.
