Playa Survival

Top choice in North Coast


Even the surfers rarely make it to remote Playa Survival, best reached by a 45-minute walk west from Playa Shacks. The narrow strip of sand found elsewhere on this section of coastline opens up into a wide sandy beach backed by hills and trees. It's a definite candidate for 'mainland' Puerto Rico's most beautiful beach.
