Playa Vacía Talega, Beach cove in Loíza, Puerto Rico
The crescent-shaped beach stretches along Route 187, featuring a broad shore of golden sand and clear waters extending nearly 100 feet from the coast.
During World War II, the military constructed observation bunkers along the coastline to monitor maritime traffic and protect Puerto Rico's northern shore.
The beach resides near Loíza Aldea, a town known for its African heritage, traditional music, and local seafood preparation methods passed through generations.
Visitors should bring essential supplies as the beach lacks facilities, and parking is available for 20 to 30 cars on hard-packed sand near the road.
The surrounding Metropolitan Area Green Lung nature reserve contains hidden caves, dense seagrape forests, and trails leading to secluded coves.
