Playa Escondida Fajardo Puerto Rico

Are you searching for a nice, private beach during your visit to Puerto Rico? Then Playa Escondida is the beach that you’re looking for. The beach’s name means "hidden" in Spanish. In order for it to be hidden, and virtually unused, it is in an out-of-the way place — you have to walk about 25 minues through a mangrove forest to get there. But the prize at the end is worth it — finding a pretty, secluded strip of beach like this one is always a pleasure. This beach is located on the western side of the Seven Seas Beach cove. The DNRA (Department of Natural Resources) controls the area, and their signs say no swimming and warn of rough surf breaks. On many occasions, I found the water along this strip of beach to appear more calm than Playa Colora since Escondida has a large reef that breaks the waves further out. But looks can be deceiving, there are serious currents flowing, even when there aren’t large waves. This beach is only for enjoyment the scenery, but not go swimming. It is said this is one of the most dangerous beach in Puerto Rico, more people drown here than most other beaches on the island. Don’t become a statistic.
