Must see · Beach · Nature / Park
Go off the beaten path with a visit to Playa Mar Chiquita, a distinct beach in Puerto Rico because there is no main thoroughfare that runs alongside the beach, it doesn’t have a long strand, and the water is not ideal for swimming. However, sightseers come to get close to the shore to see the two huge coral formations that protect a small cove and the massive tidal pools that capture water rushing from the Atlantic Ocean, creating mist. These tidal pools feature a set of mini waterfalls flowing into them.

    Unique beach! Beautiful for pictures. There are little pools of water made from the rocks where you can relax. If you want to go for a good exercise swim you can go in the beach area, the waves can be strong.

    Very pretty. The waters are a bit rough, but sitting on the rock and letting the water hit you is very nice for a family with small kids. Also, buying a sangria and sitting under a tree is nice
