Latest reviews on Humacao's beaches

Playa Guayanes
7 Steve Szalowski

Playa Guayanes is a off the beaten track in southeastern Puerto Rico . The beach is attractive to my wife who loves beach glass. You can sit on the beach. Surf looks to be rough and not relaxing. But I'm up there in years. It is relatively clean. An attraction is a local beach bar with great prices and great pastellios. Always a great thing. Mi Espanol es una poquito so I can get by in a place that's beautifully local.

Playa El Cocal
10 Lila Mango

This beach is truly magnificent, boasting an abundance of turtle nests and stunning rock formations. The sky is filled with pelicans and other sea birds, making for a picturesque view. The water is absolutely breathtaking, however, it is important to exercise caution as the currents can be quite strong. If the water appears rough, it is best to avoid going in. For a unique adventure, take a hike to the left and observe the rocks that resemble a sleeping Taino head.

Playa Emajaguas

This beach is truly amazing and a must-visit. You won't be disappointed. I had a blast spending time with my loved ones here. The beach has ample shade and the water is stunning. It's the perfect spot to relax on your hammock or even camp overnight. I highly recommend it with a perfect 10 out of 10 rating.

Playa Punta Tuna
8 Cheol Seokwon

This destination is truly unique and worth the visit. If you plan on stopping at the lighthouse first, be aware that parking is limited and maneuvering can be tricky. However, the breathtaking views make it all worthwhile. The beach is absolutely stunning and a must-see. If you continue down the road about 1km, you can park near some restaurants and access the beach from there. Once on the beach, head west (right) and you'll likely have the entire stretch to yourself. Although swimming may not be advisable due to the strong waves and abundance of seaweed, you can still enjoy a peaceful walk by the water's edge. It's easy to imagine yourself on a secluded island in this beautiful setting.

Playa Los Bohios
10 Lena Cruz

The beach is stunning to look at, but the water is quite choppy and may have rip currents, making it unsuitable for novice swimmers. The black sand is a unique feature, and there is even a river delta nearby. Unfortunately, there is a fair amount of natural debris due to Hurricane Maria in 2017, and the beach doesn't seem to have been well maintained since then. However, there are several small restaurants within a short distance, and the Maunabo lighthouse is less than half a mile away.
