Latest reviews on Yauco's beaches

Santa Beach
10 Jax Tarragona

We absolutely adored the beach. It was a serene oasis with tranquil waters and an abundance of shade. The balmy waters were perfect for swimming and we even had the pleasure of little fishes swimming around our legs. The experience was an absolute blast and we had a great time. Plus, there were plenty of nearby options to quench our thirst. While parking was limited, it was just a short walk away. We stayed until the sun set, and it was a truly magical experience.

Playa La Jungla
6 Nikos Papadopoulos.

Upon arriving at this isolated beach in the south, we were greeted by litter left by previous beachgoers, including unpleasant items such as used tampon dispensers and dirty diapers, as well as fishing line, plastic bags, cups, and bottles that cover the surrounding mangroves and grasses. The area is also home to feral dogs that scavenge for discarded food, which can pose a threat to other pets. Although a handmade sign in Spanish reminds visitors to dispose of their trash, there are no garbage cans available at this protected reserve. Despite being a popular local beach, it seems that proper cleanup and maintenance is not a priority for those who frequent it. To preserve this valuable marine ecosystem, it may be necessary to implement a reservation system and charge a fee to cover the cost of cleanup efforts. #killtrashnotturtles

What a charming shoreline! The journey to this location is awe-inspiring! It's a serene and tranquil place, ideal for unwinding. Although there is a small entrance fee, it's definitely worth it. There are designated zones for swimming and restrooms. It's the perfect spot for kayaking and indulging in aquatic activities.

We attempted to reach the beach by car, relying on Google maps to guide us. However, our efforts were in vain as the road seemed to disappear before our very eyes. Despite being only a short distance away, we were unable to find a clear path to the beach. It is possible that the entrance is obscured or that Google maps led us astray. It seems that hiking or kayaking may be the only way to reach this elusive beach. We wanted to give you a heads up about our experience in case you plan on making the same journey.
