User reviews

"This lovely beach situated in the Dorado area is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The best part? It's usually not crowded, so you can have a peaceful day by the shore. The sand is soft and the ocean floor is smooth, making it ideal for bodyboarding and surfing when the weather permits. However, it's important to be mindful of the currents, rip tides..."
