It's in the same complex of palmas del mar. You have to walk and is better to ask some local people on how to get there. Don't ask the oficers at the gate or they won't let you pass DistanceTake a car WalkShort walk (5-15 mn) Easy to find?OK Public access?Private access Special accessDon't know |

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.

shark - since surfing the search for a long time now i have seen many big sharks there, so dont go there or you will be eaten....the wave is noth worth getting eaten over....stay away if your legs are dear to you...
