Playita Rosada (Puerto Rico) is located outside the Lajas 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 Playita Rosada 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

"Unfortunately, the beautiful beach was devastated by a previous hurricane and the deck is no longer in its former glory. However, the beach boasts stunning golden sand. It's worth noting that there is no vehicle access to the picnic areas, so visitors will need to park near the gate and take a short 5-minute walk to reach the beach."

Dwayne "Dwight" Rios

"The beach boasts a natural pool in the midst of the ocean, which is not too deep. Additionally, the sand is a gorgeous golden hue. Unfortunately, it has been devastated by Hurricane Fiona."
