Medio Mundo Beach

This long, narrow white sand beach stretches approximately 3 meters wide and is ideal for a leisurely stroll along the shoreline, enjoying the sound of the waves and the fresh sea breeze. The waters are calm and shallow, making it a great spot for families with young children. You can walk out into the water up to 40 feet and still find it shallow enough to keep an eye on little ones.

Occasionally, kayak tours are offered by local companies that take visitors around the beach area, explore the nearby Piñeiro Island, and provide opportunities for snorkeling in its crystal-clear waters. Medio Mundo Beach is managed by the Conservation Trust of Puerto Rico, emphasizing its commitment to preserving the natural environment.
