Playa Puerto Nuevo, Protected beach in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico
The beach extends along the northern coast with golden sand and limestone formations creating natural pools filled by ocean waves.
The beach received multiple Blue Flag certifications from environmental agencies, marking its consistent adherence to water quality and safety standards.
Local families gather at this beach throughout the year, maintaining Puerto Rican traditions of seaside celebrations and community gatherings.
Visitors can access restrooms, showers, and parking facilities for $5 per vehicle, while lifeguards monitor the swimming areas during operational hours.
A natural rock wall separates the beach into two sections, forming a protected pool on one side and allowing stronger waves on the other.
