Mar Chiquita Beach

Mar Chiquita Beach is a standout spot in Tierras Nuevas Poniente, Puerto Rico, known for a half-moon cove on the north coast of Manatí where limestone outcrops form a natural pool. On calmer days, the protected pool-like area draws visitors for a quick dip and photos, while the open Atlantic nearby can be rough. There’s limited natural shade, so bring sun protection and water. Arrive prepared-access is more rustic than resort-style-and always check surf and safety conditions before entering the water.
