Booking.com

Playa Tamarindo (Puerto Rico) is located outside the Guanica 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 and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Playa Tamarindo with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., 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

"Absolutely stunning! This tranquil and secluded beach was a true gem. We had an amazing time soaking up the warm waters and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere with very few people around. It was a serene and rejuvenating experience, and we were even lucky enough to witness pelicans hunting for fish."

Keeble Sue

"I visited this beach during Winter Solstice 2019 and it has quickly become my top pick for beaches on the South Coast, located west of Ponce. This stunning and secluded spot on the Caribbean Sea is the epitome of a picture-perfect Caribbean beach. I give it a 5-star rating. However, it's important to note that parking at the end of Rt 333 is limited and there are no restroom..."
