One of Puerto Rico’s most beautiful beaches is hidden in a bay behind the famous Los Morrillos lighthouse, located in the Cabo Rojo vicinity.

To reach the beach, you will need to travel 5-10 minutes on a partially unpaved road with numerous potholes. An off-road vehicle or a skillful driver are advisable, especially on days when the road is muddy. Because of the lack of shade and dry surroundings, it can get so hot around here that even a dip in the water will not cool you down. Do not forget to bring along sufficient food and water, as Sucia beach has no concession stands or sanitary facilities.

Sucia beach is ideal for families with children, since the well-shielded bay prevents any strong waves from reaching the beach. There is much to discover for children and explorers: colorful crabs, iguanas hiding in the mangrove trees, and colorful fish and sea anemones when snorkeling in the sea and if you are lucky you will see dolphins swimming in the bay.

In case you get bored at the beach, you can easily take a walk to the Los Morrillos lighthouse, which can be reached by the numerous paths along the limestone cliffs.

The famous Los Morrillos light house is located right at the edge of the limestone cliffs and was built by the Spanish at the end of the 19th century. Since the cliffs have a 200-feet drop into the water, they can be quite dangerous, and especially when visiting with small children, special caution needs to be excercised at all times. The area is perfect for a hike or bicycle ride, and the blue horizon and ocean vistas are truly stunning. The more adventurous visitor can explore the natural limestone formations and their breathtaking landscape, located at the bottom of the hill.
