It’s a long haul to get to breathtaking Playa Sucia, one of
the most beautiful beaches in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, but
worth every mile and bump in the road.
This
crescent-shaped stretch of sand is at the end of the road in the extreme
southwest corner of the island, Cabo Rojo. It’s framed by Los Morillos
Lighthouse on the bluff to the right and rock arches and the beach La Playuela
to the left. It offers breathtaking views and plenty of wilderness to explore.
The beach is part of the town’s nature reserve, with no services, not even
bathrooms, but plenty of shady spots among the mangroves. It requires a little
walking from the limited parking; arrive early to get a spot. On the way in you
will pass the famous Salt Flats.
Bring lots to drink and eat because you can’t buy anything
there. Bring hiking shoes and a camera for the spectacular cliffside trail around the
lighthouse.
