As are all beaches in Puerto Rico, the ones in Dorado and Vega Baja are accessible to the public. Some, you just jump off your car and swim in, in others, called “balnearios”, you pay a modest parking fee and enjoy picnic areas and basic facilities. In Puerto Rico everywhere there is a beach you will find small shops, restaurants, and bars where you can get souvenirs or quench your thirst with an ice-cold drink; it comes with the trip.

If your idea of beach fun is to ride powerful waves, the deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean north of Puerto Rico provide for great surfing in the famous Los Tubos Beach in Manatí. The name of this surfing spot comes from the shape that its waves take as they roll in tube-like form to the sand banks. That should give you an idea of the kind of surfing that is possible along this north-central zone of Puerto Rico.
