Santa Isabel, Puerto Rico

Jauca Beach is a quiet beach where the majority of visitors are local residents, since it is located in a residential area which is not very crowded. However, it is frequently visited by windsurfers from other parts of the island, due to its reliable breeze.

There’s no bathroom facilities, however nearby there are kiosks with typical dishes and parking at an additional cost.
