Playa Mar Chiquita, Crescent beach in Manatí, Puerto Rico.
The natural limestone walls protect an oval-shaped cove with golden sand, creating a sheltered pool connected to the Atlantic Ocean through a narrow opening.
The beach features remnants of an old concrete wall with distinctive holes, indicating past maritime activities and infrastructure development along the northern coast.
Local residents gather at food trucks near the parking area during weekends, selling traditional Puerto Rican dishes and handmade crafts to visitors.
Visitors need to bring their own chairs, umbrellas, and supplies as the beach lacks rental facilities and permanent structures for convenience.
During low tide, the protected cove allows clear visibility of marine life, while the surrounding cliffs provide elevated views of the ocean.
