Escambrón Beach, Public beach in San Juan, Puerto Rico
This protected beach features a natural coral reef barrier that creates a calm swimming area with clear waters near the Puerta de Tierra district.
The beach grounds contain Bateria El Escambron, a military fortification that stands as a reminder of San Juan's strategic coastal defense system.
Local families gather at Escambron Beach during weekends to enjoy traditional Puerto Rican beach activities, including swimming and seaside picnics.
The beach provides amenities such as lifeguards, restrooms, showers, and parking facilities, with operating hours from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM daily.
The beach location allows visitors to observe both marine life in the coral reefs and view the Capitol Dome and El Morro Fort from the shoreline.
