Mar Chiquita Beach is a paradise! The water has a turquoise color and the sand is beautiful. There are several small food trucks to purchase drinks and food.
Many families go there with their grills and coolers and spend the day there. There's plenty of shade and parking.
Wonderful place to spend a day!

Follow the historical trajectory of Hacienda La Esperanza Nature Reserve in Manati, one of Puerto Rico’s most prosperous sugar plantations during the 19th Century, where the main driving force behind sugar production was slavery. During this tour, you will visit the different structures that make up La Esperanza’s Historical Site, including the Sugar Mill and its unique 1861 West Point Foundry steam engine. Spaces are limited, please reserve in advance online or by phone. Facilities for the handicapped are limited because of uneven terrain.

This was a nice afternoon spent. A little tricky to find some make sure you do your homework before venturing out. The entrance has several paths that lead to several Beaches, it was fun exploring! You must park in left side of street or you will get ticketed! Then you must walk a bit before reaching the beach. This had lovely views, rough waters and rougher sand. But of course we went for the caves! Please take warning, depending on time of year it can be very rough! You can carefully step into the caves, the view on other side is amazing. But not for children to explore into! There are sea urchins in water, lots of rocks and deep areas that sink down if you don't watch your step! Stay on the flat smooth rocks and ok to take a quick peak before large waves come crashing through!

We love this beach for its sheer, natural beauty. But it is very dangerous. When we were there, we were the only people probably because the locals knew how strong the waves and undertow are. We went swimming, and my whole family was knocked down by the waves. My 12 year old son was really shaken up, and scratched up his stomach on the sand. There's a reason this beach is empty. It's great for pictures and enjoying the view though!
