We decided to hit our nearest beach. It was a beautiful Sunday morning and I should have been at church. But I was out enjoying God’s creation, I could not feel bad about that. In fact I have been so grateful and thankful to be here again to enjoy the sun.

From the parking lot, the ocean looked amazing, a gorgeous turquoise blue. But as we got closer we were dismayed to see the beach covered with seaweed and quite a bit in the water as well. Swimming in seaweed is not fun. We found a shady spot and enjoyed our breakfast – cafe con leches and flan. (Eggs and milk in a different format.) Despite the seaweed, the view was amazing.

Since I had walked the Loiza side of the beach before, I was curious to see what the Rio Grande side was like. According to Google Maps, these are beaches in front of a residential community and St Regis Bahia Beach Resort. So we took off on a walk. Odd there was fruit strewn on the beach. Did someone empty their picnic basket?

The Berwind Beach Resort, the residential community is a gated development. There were a few people on the beach, some on hammocks. 

We continued to walk. There was less seaweed and the view was amazing. A beautiful empty beach on the left and El Yunque Rain forest on the right. We walked right up to the rows of hotel loungers and umbrellas. St Regis is under construction, several large cranes marred our view. 

We went back to a tip called Punta San Agustin, and jumped into the water.  Just perfect.  

As we walked back, we picked up some fruit, deciding it had fallen of a boat and floated to this beach.
