Icacos beach (Puerto Rico) is located outside the Fajardo 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 coast of the Icaos island and the correct question is not how to get to Icacos beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.

User reviews

"The beach was absolutely breathtaking! I am at a loss for words to describe the mesmerizing hue of the ocean. The day was absolutely perfect, with clear skies and a gentle breeze. It was an ideal day for indulging in activities like snorkeling and swimming. And if you're lucky, you might even come across some impeccably preserved starfish."
