We almost hesitate to share this video because we love El
Combate Beach (pronounced Come-BAH-tay) so much. It is one of the most
beautiful beaches in Puerto Rico, with golden sand, calm turquoise water that
creates perfect swimming conditions, and lots of shade trees. Pelicans dive for
fish and rays occasionally jump out of the water. Combate's location at the
edge of Boquerón State Forest means we also get to enjoy a nearby lagoon that
attracts a lot of birds, including unique migratory birds. The hiking/biking
trail that meanders through the dry forest by the lagoon stretches 7 miles
south to the Salt Flats.
The nearby village of Combate has our favorite waterfront
restaurant, Annie’s, where you can sip a drink, nibble queso frito or red
snapper, and enjoy the best sunsets in Puerto Rico. It’s very quiet on
weekdays but can become quite lively on weekends. But the faryher away from
town you walk, the quieter it gets.
The biggest drawback to Combate is parking, or the lack
thereof. There’s no lot and a long woodland path to get there. ! (We usually
park on the street near Combate Beach Resort, and then walk in via the woodland
path along the lagoon.) But it’s worth the effort!
There are also no facilities, either bathroom or changing,
so you might pay Annie’s a visit just to use the restroom. There are other
places in Combate to get pina coladas as well.
