Playa Escondida

Playa Escondida is a sand beach along a protected coastline in Fajardo with golden sand and thick mangrove forest. The cove sits south of Seven Seas Beach and is surrounded by clear Caribbean waters.

The northeast region of Puerto Rico received official protection status as an Ecological Corridor Natural Reserve in 2013 to preserve natural ecosystems. This legal designation allowed the beach to remain in its undeveloped state.

Local residents value this place as a private refuge and actively respect its untouched nature. The beach is part of efforts to protect habitats for seabirds and sea turtles that nest here.

Reaching the beach requires about a 40-minute walk from Seven Seas Beach Park through forest paths, and you should bring water and supplies. Since no facilities exist on site, good preparation is important.

The beach is protected from overcrowding by its difficult accessibility and maintains its undeveloped feel. This isolation has also allowed natural nesting sites for sea turtles to thrive without disturbance.
