The Caribbean is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and whether you’re looking for water activities or just relaxing you’ve come to the right place. There are several beaches near Fajardo Puerto Rico that are perfect for either. Find your favorite beach with our guide below.

Seven Seas Beach 

The Seven Seas Beach is only about five minutes away from The Fajardo Inn Resort. It’s an excellent place for snorkeling: the shallow waters at Seven Seas are swarming with tropical fish, coral, and an abundance of other marine life. 

Offshore reefs help keep the waves down and strong trade winds make it an ideal spot for sailing and windsurfing. Water sports facilities are nearby, along with a string of uninhabited islets that provide a secluded piece of tropical paradise and more fantastic snorkeling.

Playa Colorá

Roughly a 15 to 20-minute walk from the Seven Seas Beach, visitors will discover one of the most unique beaches in the area, Playa Colorá. Sort of a hidden beach, not many people venture here due to the hike it takes to access the beach. Beautiful features include tan sand, large black volcanic rocks, and in true Caribbean fashion, clear blue waters. Swimming is not recommended here as the rip tides and currents are very strong. Find out how to get to the beach with directions here.

Playa Escondida

Another “hidden” beach near Fajardo Puerto Rico is Play Escondida. You can reach this beach from both Seven Seas and Playa Colorá, both paths will guide you through mangroves or during low tide you can stick to the shoreline.

If you continue along your path, you’ll end at El Convento Beach, where the governor’s official beach house resides. Endangered sea turtles like to nest in the area so please be respectful of their space. Otherwise, enjoy the white sandy beaches and aquamarine water!

La Monserrate Public Beach

La Monserrate Public Beach is best known around the world as Luquillo Beach.  An emblematic beach for The Caribbean, its photograph has appeared in hundreds of publications as one of the most important tourist attractions in Puerto Rico. 

Located on the northeast coast, within the town of Luquillo, (Route 3, Km 35.4, Luquillo) it’s about 15 minutes away from Fajardo Inn. Aside from excellent bathing waters and sand, visitors from all over the island and tourists from other countries enjoy its well-kept camping facilities. Everything from modest shacks to sophisticated miniature restaurants line the beach entrance. Each serves everything from alcoholic beverages and refreshments to traditional seafood fritters and meals.
