Playa El Cocal, Sand beach in El Negro, Puerto Rico
El Cocal Beach extends along the southeastern coast with yellow sand shores bordered by rocky formations and blue Caribbean waters.
The beach has served as a crucial nesting ground for sea turtles throughout generations, contributing to marine conservation efforts in Puerto Rico.
Local residents maintain the tradition of coconut harvesting at El Cocal Beach, using traditional methods passed down through generations.
Access requires driving through a neighborhood to reach a paved parking lot, followed by crossing a small bridge to the sandy area.
The northern section forms a natural bay where rock formations reduce wave intensity, creating a protected area suitable for swimming.
