San Juan Puerto Rico  ⎮  San Juan Puerto Rico Beaches  ⎮ Playita del Condado Beach

Small Beach with Pretty Aquamarine Blues & Great City Views…

Playita del Condado Beach will feel like a surprise when you visit the district of Condado.  As you cross Puente Dos Hermanos bridge east onto Ashford Avenue, you’ll find a small beach tucked away on the northeast corner with soft golden sand shaded by palm trees and almond trees (see map location below).  Although small, this beach certainly makes up for it with its clear, calm, aquamarine waters.  This beach is also a historic site.  Across from it, you can enjoy views of Fortin (Fort) San Geronimo contrasting with the modern architecture of Plaza Caribe Hilton.

Up a few blocks, Condado Beach is the most popular beach, but local families in the know with young children head here to Playita del Condado for the best swimming conditions and even a little snorkeling.  During the winter travel season when most tourists book their getaway in Condado, you will actually find the least crowds.   During the summer months, when the local kids are out of school, during holidays and weekends, you will find more crowds but still nice and relaxed.
