This time, I stayed in Isabela with a couple of friends and we decided to drive over to Rincon for the afternoon for some sun and paddle boarding. The beach itself was quieter than I had expected, but that's definitely a good thing. The beach itself was super clean and the area felt safe. Beautiful spot. Paddle boards are available for $15 an hour. You can get a life jacket too, but they're not required (damn, I would have felt much better if I had gotten one though lol paddle boarding isn't easy when the waters get rough). No lifeguards here, so be sure to take safety precautions before you dive in!

While visiting Puerto Rico, I decided to check this beach out after I googled nice beaches near me…read more The best part of this beach was the journey getting there. We drove through winding roads, some very narrow and steep. We passed by hundreds of mango trees that were all ripe and falling of the trees right in front of us (month of May) so we pulled over and grabbed a bunch. We saw beautiful homes on the edge of mountains and wonderful views. This drive was an adventure. Once we arrived to the actual beach, I was surprised that it was small, and not as pretty as some other beaches, nearby and around the island. The actual area surrounding the beach was pretty cool with several bars, restaurants, and pretty things to see. So, I wouldn't recommend this beach over any others on the island of Puerto Rico, but I loved my drive getting there. Fun.

Absolutely stunning! The views from the street just outside the parking area are breathtaking, and…read morethe "Yo Aguadilla" sign is perfect for memorable photos. Pro tip: arrive before 9:45 AM to get parking close by. If possible, visit Monday through Thursday to avoid the crowds--weekends get very busy, but the vibe is still amazing. There are plenty of kiosks with food and drinks, but don't miss the guy selling drinks in a bag... easily one of the best $12 you'll spend! There's also a pier where you can jump into the water, adding a fun, adventurous touch. Just make sure you're a strong swimmer, as the currents can be strong. A must-visit spot if you're in the area--highly recommended!

The vibes were much more local feeling than other beaches. Looking forward to visiting again!! The only "con" if I have to say is the parking. Be prepared to wait or battle for free street parking.

For the non surfers it also offers unforgettable sunsets from the westernmost tip of the island, and lively nightlife, music, and stupendous seafood fare along the nearby coastal town.

The neighborhood as a creek that seriously overflows. The water suddenly comes gushing down and takes over the road and will sweep your cars away or flood them. Also keep this in mind if you plan staying in the area including Villa Montaña Resort. When it floods there is no way in or out of the area and can't become quite dangerous if the water is in motion

Peñon Amador is a pretty nice, pretty remote beach in the Camuy area of Puerto Rico…read more There's lots of cool vegetation in the hills of the beach, and rocky formations that look really sweet when the waves crash against them. One thing you'll notice at Peñon Amador is the little island a ways out into the water that has a cross on it. I've heard people say it's a memorial to a maid that drown, or that it's to all the people who have drown there. Whichever it is, it's definitely a warning that the surf can get really powerful and to enter the water cautiously and carefully. We noticed it was super choppy too so just viewed it from the beach without going in too deep! The beach is very clean and not super busy, in comparison to the beaches in the larger areas of Puerto Rico. But it is a little bit of a drive from the central areas of San Juan, etc. You may notice I have mentioned the remoteness a few times. And that's because we accidentally locked our keys in our car at this beach (totally our fault), and it took the roadside assistance service that we called about an hour to get to us - as it was getting dark! Luckily they came just in time and we were able to get into our car, but if you aren't staying nearby, just be sure to have enough gas to get back to where you came from (and don't lock your keys in your car! LOL) Aside from the remote nature of Peñon Amador, and the choppy water situation, it was a really nice beach area that's clean, quiet, and beautiful.

I literally could just watch them for hours because it was so peaceful. ~ Plenty of parking at this beach (paved parking lot & a small sandy parking area located right off the road) ~ 4 rinse-off stations located outside for beach goers to use to help w/ off sand ~clean beach ~This beach has a giant bench to strike a pose with. ~Plenty of sandy beach so not easily crowded FYI(s): ~ Watch out for sea urchins! During our visit we saw sea urchins black in color near the boat ramp. Be careful not to step on them w/ your bare feet because it does hurt (thankfully NOT speaking from personal experience ) - see video of the sea urchins posted in this review Even though we stopped by this beach when it was a cloudy day & there were only a handful of people at the beach during our visit, I really don't see this beach being a super busy beach. It really had a laidback vibe & definitely recommend checking it out if in the area. Till next time, Rebecca

If you are reading this because you are thinking to go to survival beach, please allow me to share…read morebelow: - You need to finish a REAL HIKE to get to the beach. - I'd rate this hike as MODERATE to DIFFICULT. As of August 2025, this hike is OVERGROWN and not clearly marked, imho. The info board says that it takes 30-min but it took us 45-min one-way. - You need to have closed toe shoes and sufficient water. I think one thing is about managing your expectations which may not be fully shown disclosed in certain tik tok videos: - The view is descent, but the waves are aggressive. - The beach is not crowded since it is a bit off the beaten path - BUT does it really worth packing two types of shoes (sportswear and beachwear), 90-min hiking in the jungle, and risks of washing away by aggressive waves. Overall, I'd NOT recommend this beach to my friends unless he/she is adventurous and physically fit.

The waves are definitely aggressive and I wouldn't risk going further out than about 30 feet because the sand quickly changes to bedrock and you would risk getting extremely injured if swept under by a wave.
