Beach description
This beautiful beach always has a simple, spontaneous atmosphere. You can see over a mile of light golden sand, water of various shades, from dark blue to light turquoise, and hundreds of palm trees mixed with almond trees. The latter provide you with rich shadow and coolness. Water is crystal clear: the beach has the Blue Flag awards also kept by only eight other beaches in Puerto Rico.
There are not so many tourists here - the west coast is still considered the “unachievable path”. That is why the guests of Boqueron Beach have a possibility to observe the real island life in its true colours and without tourist decorations.
Depth is felt on this beach but kids will enjoy bathing in natural shallow pools where they will have fun, gathering colorful shells, building sand castles, and observing shoals of small fish. This beach will be perfect not only for those who love jogging and water sports, and families with children, but romantic couples as well because every day on Boqueron Beach finishs with a charming colorful sunset.
When is the best time to go?
Puerto Rico is warm year-round, but from May to November, hurricanes often fly along the coast. One of them only a short time ago literally swept off the pier, which appeared before the camera the famous Despacito, and made it a history. Also during this period is characterized by the increased humidity and a lot of rainfall. The most favorable period is the time from December to April. Puerto Rico is recommended for a tourist holiday in these months.
