Balneario del Escambrón

Balneario del Escambrón is one of the easiest “snorkel-from-the-beach” options in San Juan, Puerto Rico, described as a protected metro-area beach in San Juan with a well-known snorkeling area and easier water access than some nearby Atlantic beaches. The protected areas help create a more approachable swim than some nearby Atlantic-facing beaches. It’s a smart choice for visitors who want water time without leaving San Juan, especially earlier in the day. Bring snorkel gear, follow posted guidance, and keep an eye on conditions.
