Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico > Cabo Rojo Beaches > Playa Sucia

Playa Sucia also known as "La Playuela"

Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico / Porta del Sol

Don't let the name of this beach fool you (Sucia means dirty), the waters are clean and warm and the sand is white and soft. Dramatic scenery, gorgeous water colors, natural bridges, unmatched Caribbean views, sights of the most attractive lighthouse on the island, hidden caves and private beach coves to explore, bird watching, quiet and uncrowded most of the year.... Playa Sucia / La Playuela is a true Caribbean all - inclusive beach escape for beach, nature, lighthouse, and bird watching lovers.

No oceanfront hotels or service here, the beauty and splendor of this place is the center and only source of attention without the modern day distractions.

Soft white sands, gentle waves, relaxing blues.

During times of the year kelp washes up on shore and that's the reason why it's been called Playa Sucia.

Getting to Playa Sucia

Getting to Playa Sucia is part of the fun (in my opinion). The way there is an unpaved dirt road and the roads conditions will depend on the rainfall. Some visitors send in complaints about the bad road conditions but we personally feel it only adds to the fun and natural tropical experience, so don't sweat the small stuff and enjoy the journey. What's waiting at the end of the road is well worth it.

Las Salinas - Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico

On the way there you will drive by the observatory tower where you can enjoy gorgeous views of the mountains, Caribbean Sea and a close up of Las Salinas (Salt Flats).

You will pass the Wildlife Refuge,you may notice many types of birds since this area is a protected natural sanctuary. You will also pass a little bridge where there are remnants of an old railroad track which I heard many stories from my father.

From all the beaches in Cabo Rojo this is my favorite. Playa Sucia is not the most popular beach in Cabo Rojo and although is good for us that love this beach, it's sad not more tourists and visitors get to enjoy this natural amazing attraction. So now you know, when you vacation to Puerto Rico, choose Cabo Rojo and Porta del Sol and enjoy the more natural authentic side of Puerto Rico.

Locals and Puerto Ricans seeking for beach fun in the summers flock to the most popular beaches like El Combate, Buye and Balneario de Boqueron. During the week this beach is usually quiet with very few visitors, on the weekends and Easter week it can get pretty full but still fun and relaxing to be there.
