The beach and water are beautiful. The water was prettier than I expected and very warm, but the surf is choppy. The down side of this beach is many vendors walking to try and sell you their homemade foods (questionable), and everything requires cash only. Be prepared, but don't leave your items or bags on the chairs. Lots of trash left on the beach, even though we were told it was very clean. People smoking pot everywhere, so everywhere you are, you are down wind of it...doesn't make for a pleasant beach experience. Enjoy the views, because that's about all you will enjoy during your visit, although I did eat the best empanada I ever ate at a stand at the entrance of the beach for $3.50. At 4:30, The Beach Boys grab up your shade and lounger so you have to go find another place to sit, or just do yourself a favor and go to Playa Pinones, drive through the food area and just past you will find the most beautiful, private beach areas there and the best food. Skip Isla Verde.

Mins you this beach is popular and can get crowded. You have beach tennis and volleyball courts on one end and the Aquasol Carolina Water Park on the other end. There are plenty of gazebos you can reserve, which is nice if you have a party or big group. We headed over to the water park and then the area of the beach closest to it. Not the best spot but we still had a good time. Because the beach is near the airport you'll get to see and take pics of planes taking off. On the far right of the balneario is a grassy area. There is plenty of space there if you want to fly a kite, throw around a football or frisbee, or even play some soccer. There is also a giant colorful elephant statue. I like that this beach has lifeguards. I also like there are efforts made to keep people for drinking from glass bottles on the beach. Nothing worse than broken glass hidden in the sand. There were officers patrolling the the beach and they are nice about it. Instead of dishing out fines, they'll ask you to put the bottles away. One of the officers was extra cool and let our kid get on the 4 track for some pictures. As for food, we brought our own so I didn't venture off to look for kiosks but I'm sure they were around. At least the water park has a snack bar.

We passed several inviting open air restaurants as we neared the beach and my only regret is not having time to stop for a bite! We parked on a grassy area across from the beach, which was convenient and I was thankful it was not full on this pretty Saturday afternoon. We crossed the busy street carefully with our coolers and trekked alongside the pavement until we saw people. This is definitely a family beach. Loud music and conversations emanated from beach blankets all over the sand. There were available spots, but not many. My favorite part of this beach was the small rock outcropping which held back the larger waves and made a shallow swimming area much like a calm swimming pool. Small groups were able to stand and enjoy the water without the need to struggle against the current. The beach was natural, so palm fronds and seaweed were scattered about, but it was also clean. Trash cans were lined up at regular intervals so there was no litter. Due to the proximity to the airport, planes took off frequently nearby. It was loud, but also cool to see the planes fly so close overhead. It was fun to spend an afternoon the same way that so many local residents spent their weekend days. Next time I'm stopping for food!
