Piñones Beach
1.5/5
Location: Loíza
Getting there: From San Juan, drive 15 minutes east (depending on traffic) to a popular stretch of beach. Park anywhere along the 187. There are some areas where you can park looking out at the beach to claim a spot.
Things to do: Walk the beach – This is a very long beach with pretty constant shore break waves that discourage getting in the water on all but the calmest days. Eat – Piñones is a popular spot for locals to grab food, especially on the weekend. I have heard a few people tell me some of the best food on the island can be found here.
Heads up: There is only one road along this popular coastline so traffic can be crazy, especially on the weekend.
