Playa Colora (Puerto Rico) is located outside the Boqueron settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"The beach is simply breathtaking with its stunning and picturesque views that are truly amazing. Although it's not recommended for swimming, it's the perfect spot to relax and admire the raw power and beauty of the ocean. However, there isn't much natural shade available during the day, but it does get better as the afternoon approaches."

Nataliya Kovalenko

"This beach in Puerto Rico is the finest we have come across. The stunning blue waves are a sight to behold, though swimming is not advisable. The inlet is completely isolated, as previous visitors have noted, and requires a bit of a trek to reach. It is suggested to wear shoes with a closed toe, such as sneakers, as sandals may prove challenging. The sand is a tad rough, but..."
