Beach description

It is also known as La Playuela. It is a typical Caribbean beach that will please nature lovers. In terms of territory, it belongs to Cabo Rojo town. Sucia is translated as “dirty” but, in fact, water here is clear, with stunning mixing shades of turquoise, emerald green, turning into deep dark blue. The sand is light and white. Sometimes, especially when the moon is full, algae cover the beach. But during several weeks, the beach is self-cleaned, or algae turn into sand. This beach was named after the neighboring bay Bahia Sucia which cannot really boast of being clean.

wWaves are artful on this beach. If you enter water to the waist level, it’s safe, but if you advance, waves can drag you to depth very quickly. Unexperienced swimmers and children should take caution. There are no beach rescuers on this beach, so visitors swim here at their own peril and risk. There are several shallow places for small children on both edges of the beach.

When is the best time to go?

Puerto Rico is warm year-round, but from May to November, hurricanes often fly along the coast. One of them only a short time ago literally swept off the pier, which appeared before the camera the famous Despacito, and made it a history. Also during this period is characterized by the increased humidity and a lot of rainfall. The most favorable period is the time from December to April. Puerto Rico is recommended for a tourist holiday in these months.

Infrastructure

It is a virgin beach with no hotels and other services. But these things, in combination with natural view, make Sucia Beach so special. You can lay right under the sun to get the perfect suntan, or relax under one of the palms. If ou go to the beach in tourist season on a day off, take an umbrella. There may be not enough room for everyone in the shadow.

The beach has no specially organized entertainment but if you can’t sit or lie still, better bring along a surfboard. In summer, waves are rather controllable, so even novices can dip a toe in the water.

Don’t forget to bring along food and water because you will not have a chance to buy them on the beach. In a high season, a lady offering ice cream and drinks walks down the beach, but don’t rely on her presence. The hotel Bahia Salinas Beach Resort and SPA, where you can stay for a night, lunch, or dinner, is on the way to the beach.

Useful information

1. The beach offers numerous options for interesting pastime. You can follow the hiking paths and explore romantic neighborhood, or enjoy snorkeling and diving in search of sunken ships treasures.
2. A short 10-minute walk will lead you to Fago Los Morrillos – the most visited lighthouse on the island with a magnificent view of Caribbean Sea at the angle of 360⁰.
3. A road to Playa Sucia is like a separate tour. The path is unpaved, so some tourists say that road pavement is far from perfect. Actually, it is a typical trait of all tropical roads allowing you to feel the local flair. Don’t mind slight discomfort and enjoy your trip, for Playa Sucia is worth that!

Five Things To See & Do in Western Puerto Rico — Rose & Ivy

Produced in Collaboration With Discover Puerto Rico

Words & Photography by Alison Engstrom

There are many sights and landscapes to be discovered while exploring Puerto Rico. The island’s manageable size, which is 100 miles long and 35 miles wide, allows you to visit a few parts of the tropical destination. The western region draws visitors with its unrivaled beaches perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and surfing alongside nature preserves and history. Here is a shortlist of five things to see and do while enjoying your stay.

enjoy a beach day at Playa Sucia

above Turquoise waters at Playa Sucia.

Crystal blue water, white sands, and its remoteness—meaning it’s not built-up— make Playa Sucia a beach to add on your list when visiting the region. Tucked away in the Cabo Rojo National Wildlife Refuge, this crescent-shaped strip is perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The best bet is to head there early so you can find parking, hike up to Los Morillos Lighthouse, and then hit the beach.

discover the Salt Flats of Cabo Rojo Efrén Pérez 

The expansive Cabo Rojo salt flats, which are often tinged with pink due to the shrimp in the water, sprawl over 1,200 acres and can’t be missed when driving the bumpy dirt road to Los Morrillos Lighthouse or Playa Sucia. While at first glance it appears to be barren, it’s actually home to a diverse ecosystem including hypersaline lagoons and mangroves juxtaposed by the aqua blue water of the Caribbean.

dine oceanfront on local specialties

You know you have entered vacation mode when you are dining seaside and all you can think about is how amazing the warm ocean breeze feels. The island boasts many notable dining experiences, many of which face the sea. Salitre Mesón Costero offers a menu of local seafood, rice dishes, and Puerto Rican specialties like mofongo, about 50 miles from San Juan. For a starter order the addictive housemade corn fritters (sorullitos), the mini plantain fritters (alcapurria), or the tasty Tostones Rellenos filled with crab. For a main try the mofongo, a local dish where fried plantains are the star, served alongside a protein like mahi-mahi, or order the cazuela de garbanzos with snapper. Varadero Seafood & Cuban, located in Joyuda, puts you even closer to the sea by enjoying a meal perched on top of a dock with the azure water below. This menu highlights include appetizers like queso frito or salted codfish fritters, and mains such as paella and mofongo.

Take a Hike or go birdwatching in Cabo Rojo National Wildlife Refuge

The Cabo Rojo National Wildlife Refuge, which stretches an expanse of just over 1,800 acres, is a nature-lover’s paradise. The vast terrain, which was first delineated in 1974, is now home to 245 plant species and 145 different types of birds. Here you’ll discover great hiking and bike trails, swimming, salt flats (see above), Puente de Piedra (or stone bridge), and Los Morrillos Lighthouse, which dates back to 1882.  If being among nature is what you need, book a night at Combate Beach Resort, a 3-star hotel perched next to the refuge and the popular Combate Beach.

swim in glowing water at La Parguera’s bio bay

Some miracles in nature you have to see to in order believe and one of those magical experiences is swimming under a sky full of stars in a bioluminescent bay. There are five bio bays in the world and Puerto Rico is home to three of them including La Parguera, located in Lajas. This phenomenon is caused by dinoflagellates, which are single-celled organisms that when activated create a glow-in-the-dark effect around you as well as on your skin. Several boat companies offer evening tours including Paradise Scuba, which takes visitors on a two-hour ride to the cove at either 6 pm, which sets sail at the golden hour, or at 9 pm. Your ticket also includes two delicious empanadas—vegetarian or meat—drinks, and a snorkeling mask. There is also a stop at a small island set among mangroves, which is an ideal spot to see the sunset. Once you arrive to La Parguera, grab the snorkeling mask, jump in, and revel in the experience that is like swimming in glitter.

Getting there & Around

There are daily flights from Jet Blue out of major airport hubs like JFK. American citizens do not need a passport to enter into Puerto Rico. Once you land, it’s best to rent a car in San Juan and set out to your destination from there.
