"The beach Playa La Pocita is close to Piñones, the long line of kiosks serving traditional Puerto Rican cuisine like alcapurrias and pastelillos. The low price of food and drinks, the free access to the beach, and the fact that an Uber from the city won't cost more than $10 makes this an extremely worthwhile way to spend a day—so long as you have all the beach gear you need with you." - Alicia Kennedy

This is a great beach to relax in and check out the shallows. The natural rock wall keeps this area peaceful. I'd recommend water shows as the rocks are sometimes sharp and they occasionally house sea urchins.

My family and I went beach hopping through Luquillo and Loiza and this beach was breathtaking at sunset! The water is like a natural pool with a beautiful fairy looking wall (I don't know the technical term but it was stunning.) The water is only waist deep and when the water crashes over the wall it looks like a fairy tale! I'm including some of our photos. This is a MUST STOP.

Nice relaxing beach with locals enjoying the beauty of their island.

Loved the section separated by rocks so no waves was definitely great with the high winds that day

The best beach experience you could ever have. It has best of both worlds. A beach that doesn’t go pass your waist but still have some waves. It also feels local and non-tourist. We also like that vendors on the beach would sell you mojitos and Octopus Salad.

Must Visit Place in PR! This beach is a beautiful hidden gem! It features a natural coral rock wall that creates a calm, protected pool away from the waves, with a maximum depth of about 5-6 feet near the wall. You can also find plenty of shells along the shore. We enjoyed walking in the shallow water toward the coral reef wall, which was easy to reach. The wall is quite wide, allowing us to sit and walk on it, creating a mesmerizing experience. The water is crystal clear and calm, and watching the waves break against the wall is truly beautiful. Parking is available across the street, making it convenient to visit this lovely spot. The food and tender coconut are also available. The beach with natural breakwater is very difficult to find so make sure you do not miss when you are in Peurto Rico

This place is amazing! The water is not deep, the scenic views, the people are so lovely and you have food in every corner. Definitely a must visit.
