Playa Jobos

This was a lovely spot! The water was clean and clear, and it was a good balance of sand and rocks. Parking is on the side of the road which is always an adventure, visitors are a mix of locals and surfers; the restaurants and shops give it a social vibe. We were pleasantly surprised by how nice it was and would go back.

Loved it here. You can rent 2 chairs and an umbrella for 30$. Plenty of spots to grab food and drink while relaxing on the beach/watching the surfers etc. It gets busier as the day goes on, plenty of free street parking if you get there before 10am.

One of the best beaches on the island!! Sort of like a cove with shallow and calm waters which is great for kids, but past the sandbar the waves are rougher and you can watch surfers. The beach is lined with restaurants and bars and there’s even a jungle gym for kids. Highly recommend spending the day here!

My visit to Playa Los Jobos was a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The beach has a laid back, local vibe perfect if you’re looking to avoid heavy tourist crowds and enjoy something more authentic. The water was warm and calm, great for a peaceful swim or just lounging near the shore. There are shaded spots under palm trees and space to set up chairs or a small picnic. I noticed a mix of locals and visitors, and the overall atmosphere felt safe and friendly. You can smell the sea, hear the waves, and just let time slow down a bit. There aren’t too many amenities right on the beach, so it’s smart to bring your own food, drinks, and beach gear. That said, some nearby food trucks and kiosks were serving up delicious Puerto Rican bites especially fried snacks and fresh seafood. It’s not the flashiest beach on the island, but that’s part of the charm. If you’re looking for a calm, no fuss beach day with beautiful views and real island vibes, Playa Los Jobos is worth a visit.

Good surfing beach, not so much for swimming. When the waves are up pretty strong current. There is a decent shallow area for bathing, but keep an eye out for the current. Lots of restaurants and bars and parking is a real challenge. Get there early.
