Playa Buyé, Public beach in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico.
Playa Buyé is a public beach in Cabo Rojo featuring a half-mile stretch of light beige sand that meets clear blue water. A designated swimming zone is protected by offshore reefs, keeping the water calm for swimmers.
The shoreline has evolved over decades from untouched coast into a developed area with residences and a small resort. These changes have shaped how the beach looks and functions today.
Weekends bring local families who gather to enjoy traditional Puerto Rican meals and music by the shoreline. The place serves as a gathering spot for the community to spend time together in a relaxed setting.
Showers, restrooms, and changing rooms are available at the resort for a small fee. Free roadside parking and paid parking lots provide options depending on your preference.
The northern section contains submerged coral formations where snorkelers can spot schools of tropical fish. This quieter area offers a peaceful snorkeling experience away from the main beach activity.

Puerto Rico offers more than the beaches and colonial fortresses of San Juan. The island contains dozens of natural swimming pools, remote coastal sections and protected forest reserves. The northern coast holds limestone caves with pre-Columbian petroglyphs, while the southwest region includes bioluminescent bays and extensive salt flats. The interior features waterfalls cascading over volcanic rock and hiking trails through mountain canyons with native vegetation. Historic sites include 19th-century lighthouses on rocky promontories, Spanish fortifications guarding harbor entrances and archaeological sites like the indigenous ceremonial center of Tibes near Ponce. Coastal areas offer natural swimming holes separated from the sea at low tide, including Las Paylas in Luquillo and Pozo de Jacinto in Isabela. The dry coastal forests of Guánica and the wet rainforest of El Yunque show the range of the island's ecosystems. Visitors reach these locations via local roads that are often unpaved and poorly marked. Many natural pools and waterfalls require short hikes over uneven terrain. The best conditions occur during the dry season from December through April, when river flows run lower. Some locations like Reserva Natural Las Cabezas de San Juan require advance booking for guided tours, while others remain freely accessible year-round.
