La Pocita de las Golondrinas Beach, Natural saltwater beach in Isabela, Puerto Rico.
The beach features a protected pool formation with shallow waters reaching only two feet deep, enclosed by large rocks that block the open sea.
The beach has maintained its natural state through the years, demonstrating resilience after Hurricane Maria altered the access paths in 2017.
Local food vendors around the beach serve traditional Puerto Rican snacks like pastelillos and empanadillas from their seaside kiosks.
Visitors need to follow a narrow path through vegetation for 5-10 minutes and turn right at the Y intersection to reach the beach.
The natural rock formation creates a contained swimming area where children can play safely while waves crash against the surrounding barriers.
