In Las Croabas. You must go at least once for breakfast. The owner (Gladys is amiable and welcoming.) You sit on the roof of her house overlooking the Bio-Bay. The pancakes are the best you will ever have. Parking stinks, but we always find parking. If she offers the fruit salad, do it. It's delicious. Reservations are a must!

One of the best beaches in Puerto Rico. Calm clear waters and great restaurants nearby. There is a $5 parking fee but well worth it. Avoid parking on the side of the road or you risk getting a ticket.

This is a hidden beach at Seven Seas. It's a 35-40 minute walk through some beautiful Mangroves. Great hike and worth the effort. You will be rewarded with an amazing beach. This beach does not have many people. You will love it!! Getting there is tricky. My advice is to go on YouTube and search Playa Escondida. There are many videos that show you how to get there. Bring just a carry-on cooler and towels.
