Playita del Condado

Playita del Condado is a protected beach area in San Juan with clear waters and a small shoreline. Palm trees border the sand, modern buildings frame the background, and ropes with buoys mark designated swimming zones.

This beach became part of the Condado district's development when the area emerged as a tourist destination in its early years. Its protected status was established to preserve the coastal resource for future generations.

Local residents use this beach for morning swims and evening gatherings along the shore, making it a central meeting point for the neighborhood. It serves as a social hub where daily routines and leisure time blend together.

Paid parking is available within walking distance, making access straightforward for most visitors. Best conditions are when weather is calm and water visibility is good, allowing for safe swimming.

At low tide, a natural pool forms among the rocks at one end of the beach, creating separate shallow water areas. This zone allows visitors to observe marine life in calmer, isolated pools.
