Booking.com

Playa Los Pozos (Puerto Rico) is located outside the Cabo Rojo 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 a serene and peaceful spot, perfect for those seeking tranquility. However, the drive to the water can be quite an adventure, akin to off-roading. This adds an element of excitement and enjoyment to the experience. The only downside is the abundance of seaweed, which can be a bit of a nuisance."

Samantha Lee

"The beach may appear stunning at first glance, but the journey to reach it is quite arduous. The path leading to the beach is quite treacherous, making it a difficult and unpleasant experience."
