Balneario El Escambrón
A public beach inside Tercer Milenio Park on the eastern side of Old San Juan, sheltered by rocks, with calm, gentle waters. It's a good place for snorkeling and sea turtle spotting, with a view of the San Jerónimo fort.
Balneario El Escambrón lies in the Puerta de Tierra district between Old San Juan and Condado. It is a public beach with lifeguards and facilities. The rocks enclose a bay with clear, calm water, ideal for family swimming and snorkeling, and if you're lucky you may see sea turtles. The surrounding Tercer Milenio Park has a seaside path leading to nearby Fortín de San Gerónimo. Parking is charged per vehicle, and there is a restaurant on the beach. Locals come in large numbers on weekends, so it's best to visit in the morning.
