User reviews

"A local recommended this beach to me, and I must say it was quite impressive to witness. Throughout our entire trip in mid-November, the waves from the Atlantic were quite turbulent, so I'm not sure if I would ever suggest it as a swimming spot. However, the view alone made the trip worthwhile!"

Brielle Barker

"Mar Chiquita beach, also known as Little Sea, is exactly what it sounds like - a cozy beach tucked away from the wild Atlantic waters by a sturdy rock barrier. Situated in the charming town of Manatí, this beach is a true hidden treasure and holds a special place in my heart as one of Puerto Rico's finest coastlines."
