    Really this place is pretty nice, especially when you consider it's in a busy part of town. The only deduct for points is the fact that parking, as the other review indicates, is a nightmare! I wish would had read the previous review and found out about the paid parking for $4-5. Well worth it. We actually almost skipped because we weren't able to find anywhere to park. Now, as you drive down the main road, every time you go over a larger than normal speed bump, that is an indicator that there is a beach access walkway. Really good idea and helped us know how close we were to access points when we were looking for parking. So, as you probably guessed, the closer you are to an access point the worse off you are for finding a spot to park. As we continued down the main strip we were fortunate and came across a spot somebody must have just left from. Made the small hike (less than 5 minutes) to the beach and discovered an absolutely amazing beach. Nice white sands. Gentle surf that you could wade out in. Still enough for people to play with boogie boards. People on jet skis (further out). A person trying to parasail. On the back side of the beach were some palm trees that offered some shade from the sun. Quite a few people had found some space, socially distanced to set up camp in these locations. Offering the best of both worlds. A little shade...a little sun...great beach/ocean views. Really glad we went ahead and stuck it out to find parking and check this place out, really awesome beach!

    Beaches are very crowded but the people are nice. They do have umbrella and chairs to rent for the day.

    It's nice but not for those who need and like seclusion. They have drinks and food to buy. Umbrella and chair rental. Kid and dog friendly. Parking is $5.

    Me and my family came to this beach because there are Lifeguards. Lifeguards are hard to find in Puerto Rico. The waves were fun- not too big and not too small. Just so you know you can rent chairs, umbrellas, and fold-up tents. The empanadas are excellent at the food shack, and you can also buy beer and drinks. There are also pavilions with grills and seating. It is fun to relax. I recommend going here!!

    Carolina Beach in Carolina is a beautiful and well maintained beach that has everything that you want in a beach and more. The views and water are fantastic and make you want to stay for a while. Well worth the visit for a great beach with plenty to offer here.

    Carolina Beach!

    Playa Isla Verde - Best empanada I ever ate at a stand at the entrance of the beach for $3.50

    Isla Verde is a beautiful family beach. You can watch the sunrise from here. You can see couples…read morewalking on the beach early before everyone sets up. The shore has the beautiful earl shells with purple on the inside. Waters are medium some days it may be calmer than others. Other days the waves may be a bigger lol I love all the food items they sell while sun bathing. The heritage of the flags on the beach you feel the boricua pride.

    Stayed at the Hilton Embassy Suites by Playa Isla Verde. The beach is a little far to access by…read morewalking from the hotel but once you get to the beach they have beach chairs for rent or for free when you stay at the hotel I referenced above. 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.
